Pujols was a monster. Just doesn't have the appeal Trout does .... in my opinion of course

You sound like a guy who has already made up your mind. Let me know what you need for your 53BC Mantle.

I completely agree with this at this time. The problem is as soon as Trout has a bad year or the next big thing comes up Trout will be forgotten just as fast as Pujols was. Probably even faster since Pujols had a much better start to his career.

Where do you get this thing about Pujols having a better start to his career? Once you adjust for the context in which they were playing (i.e., Pujols got started during silly ball), and the parks in which they play, they have basically identical OPSs. (Trout leads by one point.) Trout's OPS is also weighted more heavily towards on-base percentage than is Pujols', and on-base percentage is more valuable than is slugging percentage. So as batters, Trout has a narrow lead over Pujols. But once you account for the fact that Trout is a good base runner and a center fielder, whereas Pujols was a leftfielder/first baseman (although admittedly a good one), Trout pulls into a comfortable lead.
We really should feel lucky that we get to watch Trout play. Through age 24 he is the greatest player of all time. Ruth's huge seasons came after age 24, so no guarantee that he's going to keep that title (he probably won't), but he is something special. That said, keep the Mantles and the Aarons. Or sell them to me cheaply. P.S. Bonus comparison: Trout vs. Mantle. Trout has a slight lead as a hitter through age 24 (a little bit larger than his lead over Pujols, but still not very big). Both were center fielders. As a fielder early in his career, Mantle was pretty much dead average for a center fielder. Trout averages out about the same (although with considerable year-to-year variation). Trout is the better base runner. |

For the record, I am not selling Mantle and Aaron's to buy Mike Trout cards
I don't think it would be that crazy however. Mike Trout, as nat pointed out, is off to a legendary start, and I'd love to own a nice mid-level Trout card. Or cards. Searching for them, as well as learning some tidbits regarding modern collecting, has been a pleasant diversion to the same ole cards on eBay. Good thread

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. |
