I think he was more overhyped than overrated. very over-hyped. The MVP of those Yankee teams was Mariano Rivera. |

THose teams had multiple borderline great players. Jeter was the best of them, but it was just a very good all-around team. People forget how good Bernie Williams and Jorge Posada were also. In the 2000's, Posada averaged 21 HR 82 RBI and a 129 OPS+ as a catcher. And Bernie was a borderline HoFer, imo.

Better OPS in the postseason than Jeter. |

Trout thinks he's entitled to the MVP even though he sits on his ass the last two months of the season on a horse shit team. He is a great player who bales on his team after they are eliminated from contention. As far as OPS, WAR, and those other stats are concerned, i doubt if the HOF voters give a damn what those numbers are and never refer to them before casting votes. Maybe you stat guys should research the OPS and WAR of Mays, Mantle, Aaron, Clemente, etc. and see if they should have been elected to the HOF. |

When did he say he deserves the MVP? The Hall voters don't give OPS, WAR, etc any thought in voting? Lmao. Edit: All those guys you listed had incredibly high WARs.... |

Trout has never said he deserves a thing.....he just acts it. You don't have a damn clue what HOF voters use to determine how they vote. You don't know if they ever see tghe OPS, WAR,etc. of any of them. You have not seen the OPS and WAR of any of the players I mentioned. You don't have a clue what they were. I laugh because you aren't capable of having an opinion on a player unless you know his OPS WAR, or some other piece of analytical bullshit. |

I simply don't choose to talk out of mine as some do. I don't need to know his OPS or WAR to decide if I like him as a player. And Mike Trout did not deserve to be MVP of the AL this season even though he is Saint's idol. |

Whether you agree or disagree with anything I post is of no importance to me. I am not the one who talked out of his ass to convict a team I claim to support of cheating before I had all the facts. The facts were eventually produced but you didn't wait for them before determining their guilt. I am also one who thinks members of the HOF should be held to certain ethical standards and those who used PED's should never be voted in. If that is talkng out of my ass, I proudly plead guilty. I am not going to suck up and claim i agree with anybody if I think they are wrong and I damn sure don't get offended if anyone disagrees with me. |

I don't need their OPS to know if they are good players. When Trout was named MVP he looked as if he expected it and knew he would win it with a smug look on his face. He did not deserve it. So you think you saw a smug look on his face at some point and that makes him a jerk? Even though he has never come up in anything negative, started brawls, mouthed off to the media, threw anybody under the bus, anything? Can you think of one thing that he actually did that was bad? The guy has been pretty clean of anything. "I don't need their OPS to know if they are good players." So you're saying that Hall voters don't look at statistics because they're like you? Statistics like WAR mostly support the many players in the Hall. (Not all of them, but most.) I don't know what point you're trying to make. Stats and awards have always gone into Hall consideration. |

I just hadn't heard of anybody not liking Trout for any reason other than he's on a rival team. I always looked at him as kind of the JJ Watt of baseball. An elite player that kept his image very clean. |

Since you think I'm an idiot, why do you always respond to my post and prove that YOU are the real idot? |
