Trout hurt again, naturally

[packs]

Such a bummer. Batting average aside he was off to a great start. I do agree that DH must be in his future now. He's only appeared as a DH in 81 career games up until now.

10 HR and only 14 RBI. That could be a record low for 10 HR.

Angels aren't very good and Trout has been leading off lately so probably not a lot of RBI opportunities.

Hitting .200 doesn't help either. When did he last play a full season?

Those 10 home runs were leading all of baseball. His OPS+ was 141. Mortal for Trout, maybe. But not a good start?

Brilliant start, speed and power before injury issues, 3 MVP Awards, body breaking down in his 30s but still great when healthy.

(sarcasm incoming)

Remind me again why people compared this guy to Mickey Mantle?

[Snapolit1]

Had his career not been riddled with injuries, he could have been the next Mantle. Prodigious gifts. But can’t stay on the field

Sort of a mocking tone to some of the thread. I don’t get it. Sucks for him. Sucks for his team. Sucks for baseball. Seems like a good guy.
