Mike Trout versus Mookie Betts -- who would you rather?
So I'm glad that Mike Trout is still healthy. He's a Jersey guy, so always rooting for him.
I was thinking whether I'd rather have his career or that of Mookie Betts. I mean, Mookie is still going, so who knows where he ends up. But I'm guessing that Trout ends his career with a much better overall individual career (WAR, awards) and is probably closer to the inner circle of the Hall of Fame than Betts.
But Mookie's got 2.5 rings (partial credit for the Covid ring) and a reasonable amount of individual hardware himself.
Maybe it's recency bias, but I think I'd go with Mookie.
