August 26, 201412 yr Ha. Ha. Ha. Just comparing Stanton to the "best player in baseball". I know, I'm just bustin' ya ballz. This year, Stanton has been a bit better, but I'd still take Trout. If the Angels offered Trout for Stanton, I would say yes without hesitation.

If the Angels offered Trout for Stanton, I would say yes without hesitation. I would too. Though i must say the posts that these guys bring up about trouts strikeouts this year is alarming too. That is the focal point of why i get so frustrated with stanton. Thats not a good thing.

Look at all the double plays Casey McGehee has grounded into, wouldn't it have been better if it had been a strikeout? Remember that an average BABIP is around .300, meaning that only about 30% of the time a ball is in play is it going to be a hit. Obviously, you prefer an out that can at least advance a runner, but really when a guy is on second with one out and he advances to third on the second out, odds are he would have scored from second anyway, so is that out really productive?
