If you truly look at the numbers and their actual track record you cannot go wrong with saying that a SF Giant team without Posey would not have won 3 championships and would be in a much worse position than a LA Angels of Anaheim team without Trout or a Washington National team without Bryce Harper or without a Trea Turner or even a LA Dodger team without Kershaw or Seager

I just do not understand why MLB network or ESPN does not give him his due credit

After this year I may feel different if Trea Turner or Corey Seager really blows up

I'm sure the Angels would be instant contenders if they traded Trout for Posey and the Giants would be in big trouble.

MLB does the worst job promoting the game. They believe the game will promote itself and never push star players.

What would they have to do if Mike Trout having the best start to a career ever and lapping the field over the past few years isn't enough for you to think he is the most valuable player?

I do think Posey is great and probably under appreciated at this point though. And this is easily your best thread of the day.

I don't care about the Giants one way or the other but they do seem to be the team with 3 championships in 5 years that got a lot less national press than anybody similar.

That probably has to do with the horrid years in between and them being on the West Coast. It doesn't seem like MLB promotes the West Coast teams as well as the other sports. Golden State gets as much pub as anybody but the Giants or Dodgers seem like an afterthought until the playoffs
