Trout. Altuve ain't in the convo son.

Player A: .355 BA, 153 hits, 29 doubles, 3 triples, 19 HR, 25 stolen bases, .423 OB%, .568 slg, .991 ops

Player B: .319 BA, 124 hits, 25 doubles, 3 triples, 21 HR, 17 stolen bases, .431 OB%, .560 slg, .991 ops



Player A is Altuve. Player B is Trout.

How is Altuve not in the conversation when he has better stats?

What he meant to say is that HE doesn't belong in the conversation.

Player a plays second. Player b plays center field. Big difference.

The conversation begins and ends with Mike trout.

Actually id say that getting that kind of production out of a 2nd baseman is way more valuable than getting it out of a center fielder

what does that possibly matter when it comes to those batting stats?

You're wrong.

"Value" is a term that corresponds to the player's worth to the team.

Historically, CF production will be better than second base.

In other words, a team getting Altuve production from second that gets average CF production will be better off than a team getting Trout production with an average 2nd baseman.

But, I'm not expecting someone that dismisses the notion that Altuve is the MVP as a worthy discussion to comprehend this, so carry on.
