The point I'm trying to make is that greatness does not go overlooked and neither is Trout. If you follow baseball today, you know Trout is the king of the sport.

yes, but still taking advantage of a playoff opportunity is still better than someone who never receives the opportunity...
some elite players have not been great in the playoffs which has hurt their reputation as well so with risk there is reward.......
In the playoffs you dont get to hit against number 4 and number 5 Starting pitchers, you also dont get to put up huge stats against the terrible teams...
