pcq Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Palka is disproving the strike out slugger mold when he goes to LF like that. That is what an MLB slugger would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footlongcomiskeydog Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Trout will be a free agent after the 2020 season. That lines up pretty well with the Sox window... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a 500 HR/3,000 hit guy before steroids. His hand-eye coordination was insane. Besides hitting, he also stole a bunch of bases and won a bunch of GG’s... but that’s just me.

I'm just projecting what he's doing now and will probably continue to do as his numbers are seemingly getting better every year. I should've said player, not hitter but both apply since he actually plays CF too and is pretty damn good there as well. He is just scary good.

It’s currently 1.064 this season and almost 1.000 for his career. That for a career, which is going to be attainable at his current pace, would be better than everyone but Ruth, Williams and Gehrig.
