re: Potential GOATs in baseball today

Ken Griffey Jr. was worth 6.6 WAR in 1998 and 4.9 WAR in 1999. Mike Trout would have to miss half a season to only put up 4.9 WAR.
By wRC+ (which puts a hitter relative to league average and accounts for ballparks and eras), Mike Trout's worst hitting season is better than Ken Griffey Jr.'s best (excluding Mike Trout's initial call-up in 2011.) Ken Griffey Jr was great and fun and everyone loved him, but Mike Trout is better than him.
That the Angels haven't been very good the past few seasons doesn't help with Trout's image. If they continue winning this year and Trout stays on his current pace then I'm sure people will come around. He has potential to be GOAT material and would have a HOF case if he retired today.
