OK to be as fair as possible I will compare the first 5 years for Albert Pujols to 6 for Trout so the Plate Appearances and ABs are close with Trout having 130 more PA and 43 more AB.
Pujols PA 3428 in first 5 years
Trout PA 3558 in first 6 years
Pujols AB 2954
Trout AB 2997
Pujols BA 332
Trout BA 306
Pujols Runs 629
Trout Runs 600
Pujols Hits 982
Trout Hits 917
Pujols 2B 227
Trout 2B 175
Pujols 3B 11
Trout 3B 37
Pujols HR 201
Trout HR 168
Pujols RBI 621
Trout RBI 497
Pujols SB 29
Trout SB 143
Pujols BB 401
Trout BB 477
Pujols TB 1834
Trout TB 1670
So even with 130 more plate appearances and 43 more at bats he is behind in every offensive category except SB, BB and triples.. Yes i know these are old school stats but I have no faith is the new theoretical/hypothetical stats when they compare players of different positions and different years.
