And my original comment was I said "I might even take Altuve and Betts over Trout." Go back and read it Poster who's afraid to list their own name.
Like Bob C and others have said these careers need to play out. I'm not the one anointing him the next Jesus Christ.
Maybe if I saw more of him in the playoffs when I watch every pitch I might drool over him like you guys, but he's never there.

1) Yes. Cherry picked. Let's use slugging, OBP, OPS. My stats are cherry picked too. That's how it works when we selectively choose the ones we like.
2) Yes, you are dismissing walks (the word I actually used in reference to walks was 'criticized'). You did indeed list them, which I did not dispute. You did so with the note of "(I like to call this, swing the fucking bat Mike!)"
3) Yes, I read your original comment. I do not agree with it.
4) I don't see anyone anointing him the next Jesus Christ. I also have said he is way overrated on this list.
5) I'll post yet again that my name has nothing whatsoever to do with claims of fact. An argument holds weight
on the logical merit of the argument itself and not by virtue of the authority of the person stating it. An appeal to authority or person is a fallacy. If you'd like to bash my person instead, DM me and I'll give you my email with my name in it.
