    Trout is so sick. He has big time power and the Mantle comparisons are looking better every day.

    Trout....Pujols and Morales. Not bad. Hunter is getting older and Abreu washed up and gone. Nice to see replacements.

    Trout and Pujols should average their contracts together and split in half.

    Trout's crazy good but he needs to do this for a few seasons before people go throwing around Mantle comparisons.

    He could bat .260 next year, doubtful but we've seen it before with young players.

    Never thought I'd say this....but You Mad Bro is 100% correct.

    Any dumb fukk that compares Mike Trout to Mickey Mantle clearly knows nothing about baseball, and should be tried for treason.

    The kid is awesome, no doubt. But he's 3 months into his rookie year. Lets put the anointing oil away.

    Mickey would also throw tantrums and call his daddy crying saying he was quitting baseball. Guy coulda been greatest ever had he not had so many health, mental, emotional issues and appetites for booze and trim

    Angels best team in baseball. Hope u guys had them for your future bets when they were struggling to hit (pre Trout). Pujols 20 home runs now just in May-July.

    He's 20 years old .. If mickey mantle wasn't an alcoholic hbwoukd have broken almost every record in the majors ...

    Let alone dude could steal bases and one of the fastest guys ever to run down the line ...

    THE FCKN KID IS 20 years old give it a rest ... They played in a different age where hitters weren't given an advantage at all ... Ballparks were so much bigger... Plus the competition was so much better ...

    You can put any 9 guys from 1990 - present vs any of the old timer and they would lose 10 out of 10 times


    Bonds
    trout
    griffey
    arod
    mmcguire
    sosa ... Any of the all stars from the recent years would get smacked by old timers


    So once again comparing mike trout to one of the greatest players is just plain out stupid and opie thanks for agreeing with me ... I take back all my comments I made about you

    Mickey was fast as hell, but his legs were always hurt. He didn't steal bases. Not all parks were huge. But yeah you make good points. I don't think anyone thinks trout is better than mantle. It's just the Oklahoma 20 year old OF player with 5 tools.

    I know but he is 20 years old .. Let the kid play 5 years and see where he is at .. And if mantle was healthy he would have beers the greatest ever that's all I'm saying ...

    Btw u can't even compare trout to joe DiMaggio let alone mantle .....

    He's a monster at the plate, guy picks great throws and can easily go to 3-2 in 0-2 situations.

    The comparison is trout AT 20 vs Mantle AT 20.....

    No one is saying trout is anywhere near a hall of fame legend. But throw some names out there of players that had the numbers in terms of power,speed, average in actual stats and potential at an age and experienence level of trout.....


    Think about THAT for awhile and get back to me.

    Does it mean trout will be great all his career? No, he'll he could end up being only the third best trout to ever play. But what he has done this year is amazing

    I said give him time .. I admitted trouts a good player ... For a lot of tools ... Just needs some more time before comparing him to anyone ... We agree on somethings which is good lol ...

    Give trout 5 years and if he is still doing the same than we can start comparing

    I think I'll continue on with comparisons whenever I want to, in the way I want its one of the less boring things about baseball... Debate and comparisons LOVE IT! It's fun times, but I understand not everyone's cup of tea.

    Zoo Youk, was it you that got mad at my Eric davis comparison about a month ago or was that in the drink?

    Still waiting for more comparisons for someone like trout at this age

    your ******* idiot ass comment just proved my theory. ur ******* theory is based off players names that played in a different era/different rules/different ballparks then followed by ".... These players played in bigger ballparks ... Balls weren't juiced like they are now... Most guys had second jobs in the summer to be able to help out ... Not like today where you can practice thought out the summer if you wanted to"

    my theory is based on the fact that now any race can play, dedicate their entire time/work ethic to playing ball with higher salaries/ and better technology/ ability to practice/ more information/ better techniques....

    if you dont understand this, than your dumb bro

    Babe Ruth vs real bull pens, blacks, latins, splitters, cutters ect? I'd love to see him face chapman. I'm sorry but I bet he only faced a handful of guys that even topped 90mphs
