Jack Parkman Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) Mike Trout is only 28 years old. He doesn't turn 29 until August. He's going to be playing this entire decade because his contract runs until 2031 IIRC. I believe this is the first year of his 12 year deal.

Mike Trout could retire today and be he'd have 1 more career WAR than Frank! If Mike Trout retired tomorrow, he would be retiring after his age 27/28 season. Which means he'd be retiring at the age in which Josh Donaldson had his first good season in the MLB. In the time it took Donaldson to be awesome, Trout accumulated more WAR than Frank.

Trout has the great WAR because he's basically a slightly worse Frank offensively, with Elite defense and baserunning at a premium defensive position. I think WAR overrates defense and underrates offense....It's pretty much impossible to do Mike Trout things as a 1B or LF, no matter how good you are defensively, with the exception of Barry Bonds on steroids.

JD Martinez didn't break out until the latter portion of his 20's either. Right now... Mike Trout: 72.5 career WAR / 65.4 7yr-peak WAR / 69.0 JAWS Average HOF CF (out of 19): 71.0 career WAR / 44.5 7yr-peak WAR / 57.7 JAWS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(At least by the average fan) Yeah, I don't think all that many people get it. Mike Trout isn't just "the best player in baseball". He's pacing to enter himself squarely into the GOAT conversation when this is all said and done. I doubt anyone will ever pass Babe's 182.4 career WAR record. Trout would need to average a 10 WAR over 11 more seasons to do that. That's not happening. However, I think when you account for the difference in eras. There will be an argument. Of course, he needs to stay healthy. For whatever reason - "GOAT" conversations don't happen that much in baseball relative to NBA or NFL. Probably stems from how baseball has created such a "mythical" aura around their legends. Trout will enter into that. He just needs to stay healthy. I hope he does. He's unreal to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
