Mike Trout

I feel like I’m missing something about him. I get that he’s quite fast and has makeup up the wazoo, but I don’t really understand why people think he can be a really good baseball player. For a guy to be an impact player without average power, he has to do everything else right – Trout walks, but not a ton. He doesn’t strike out a lot, but not zero either. He seems like a Ben Revere with worse plate discipline who’s even further away. Am I not getting something?

Trout

Well, I was actually the guy that took Trout, so I should probably be able to explain the thought process behind it. I think you may be selling him a bit short with the Revere comparison in terms of power. I don’t see Revere ever generating enough power to be close to average. Some reports have Trout potentially generating 20 HR power. A plus defensive 20/20 CF has tremendous value. Also, saying he has worse plate discipline than Revere isn’t accurate.
