This. Snider is going to be a beast once Cito is gone and he gets consistent playing time. Injuries have really hampered him, but he is only 22 and has done pretty well in his return this year.AKA Coastal said:

) and the Angels just need to relax and not rush him, they have plenty of time to bring him up... plenty. Let him fight through aA and say if he can replicate the damage he did in A ball. Even if he can that is still not the sign that he is "all that" because it is the CAL. Next year maybe AA then you will get an idea what he really is made of.loftlife said:darocker80 said:
It will not get any easier. His numbers have dropped in every category except his HR rate (1:13.5games to 1:10games), then again it is the CAL with thin air and band box fields so forget the "see his power is coming on". Some said his base stealing was a game changer (not any more). So many on here say because he is young not to worry, then again most of them have a invested interest in him so they need to say that. I would side with time is on his side because of his age (I only have 2 cards

How is his speed NOT a game changer? Because he only has 4 steals so far in High A? That's terrible reasoning if that is what you're basing your logic on. How often do you see players get doubles on ground balls up the middle? Well, Mike did that just yesterday. He is one of the youngest players in the league, and is holding his own quite well to this point I'd say. Wait until he fully adjusts and gets hot, then you'll be seeing the .330+ average come right back.

How is that terrible reasoning? Like saying his 4SB and 3CS is something to rave about? What he did in A ball no longer matters, does it? What he did in A ball will not factor into anything except prospecting. Trout is being graded on what he is doing now, and that determines where and how fast he moves up in the ranks, just like any other player. With that said his base stealing as of now is far from game changing... simple fact. Can he turn it around? Oh hell yeah... he can also not get any better or get worse.
Time will tell... it always does.
BTW, I hope his avg does pop back up and he gets even hotter then he was in aA, I would like to move the only 2 autos I have of him for a tidy profit
