Not to play devil's advocate but when I was his age, I made a ton of mistakes.
Mike Trout is benefiting greatly (IMO) from having Pujols around as a mentor...Harper, whether he'd be receptive to one or not, has never had another great hitter to learn from.
There are enough players in MLB that, if one disappoints me, I just move on to the next 'flavor of the week'.
There will always be some good, high-quality guys out there performing everyday like our opinions matter to them...and that's something to be thankful for.
I can enjoy a spectacular defensive play no matter who does it and no matter who they do it against.
Admittedly, it's a little harder to appreciate a bunch of home runs coming against your 'favorite' team (ex: this past weekend Dodgers doing it to the Braves).
I love a great pitchers' duel, though I do have my favorite pitchers and would prefer that they be the ones who come out on top.
There's a lot to like out there!
