re: Mike Trout has finally peaked

Trouts teams are so bad that they’ve given him 93 plate appearances with bases loaded in what 7 seasons? Probably really only 6 seasons because he’s the AD of baseball. Great player, won’t win you anything. WAR is basically the PER of baseball. It’s a stat. One that people place wayyyyy too much importance on because ESPN has created a lazy generation of sports fans who need one or two stats to tell them what a player is rather than you know, watching them.

There’s a poster here who has already said they just read the basic stat sheet from a game and it tells them all the need to know about a quarterback’s performance in a game. Those are the guys who care about Trout’s WAR.
