So tell me what you think he will do in a full MLB season. Haha yea ive talked to him a few times. He is a nice guy never said he wasnt but he is a little shy. We even recorded an interview with him. Its like I insulted someones mother if you dont ride the hype train of Mike Trout, Bryce Harper ect..[/quote:2yv58pm9]boxbreaker44 said:
I'm not a scout, but I think Trout can put up a consistent .315+ avg, 40+ 2B, 5+ 3B, 15+ HR, and 40 SB per year type of player. He's great out in center, although he does take weird routes sometimes, but that'll improve with more experience in the position. If you saw him play often, you'd notice that nearly everything he hits, he hits hard.
So, because he was camera shy in your interview, when he was 18 years old, you felt the need to proclaim that he will never have the personality to be a fan favorite? Smart!
There's a difference between not riding the hype train and stating that a player will never reach a certain ceiling. You aren't a scout, and from the sounds of it you don't have much knowledge at all about player development, so you really have no place stating that a player won't ever be great. Let's leave that to the pros, and from Trout's placement in the top 50, it's quite clear they all think pretty highly of him.
Assuming he is a starter in 2012. You game?
