He is already ranked the 5th best centerfielder of all time. The names ahead of him:
Willie Mays
Ty Cobb
Tris Speaker
Mickey Mantle
The names immediately below him:
Ken Griffey Jr.
Joe DiMaggio

What idiot ranks him ahead of Jr.
Not a chance.
630 HRs to 334 HRs
10 consecutive Gold Gloves to Trout's NONE
Not to mention Trout's whopping 1 playoff Series - batting .083
and he couldn't hit the best pitchers of his era (Kershaw, Scherzer & Verlander).
PLEASE
I wouldn't even put him ahead of DiMaggio, but he'll scrap up enough stats with whatever he has left to possible approach Joe D.
