Mike Trout's injury is starting to seem serious

[Shoeless Moe]

How about this.....that meathead, Trout, is THEE DUMBEST player of all time!!!!

Can we at least all agree on this?

Playoff baseball is so exciting!!!!!

Does not matter what 2 teams are playing.
(NHL Playoffs is like this too, but that's another story)

How that MORON chooses the Angels and money over this is beyond me.

Most threads end up ruined by some troll or fanboy insistently posting their fan fiction fantasies as if they are objectively true. Usually those takes are somehow less of a shitpost than this one.

let's put it this way.

if you were in the majors list the top 20 teams you sign with.

can guarantee you would not have the Angels in it, unless you were from there.

might be in the bottom 3-4.

it's like re-signing a long term deal with the Detroit Lions.

See how much more reasonable it sounds to say you think he shouldn't have signed with the Angels, than the 3rd grade all caps hyperbolic insults?

I notice the same poster who is upset the Yankees are good is also saying why would anyone want to sign with a bad team.

Well if i was in the majors, no offense to anyone here but i doubt i spend my time here arguing this point, i would be a young rich guy seeing the world and i would care less about that discussion...

So, by that logic, being a New York Knick would be one of the 2-3 worst options for a basketball player. The Las Vegas Raiders would be a bottom 3-4 destination for an NFL player. The New York Mets would be waiting for the Angels scraps, since they are definitely below the Angels in accomplishments the past 20 years.

The Angels have nothing going for them except: (1) 2 of the 5 most talked about players in MLB; (2) the best weather in the country; (3) local media does not crucify players every time the team loses a couple of games; (4) an owner who historically has paid top of the market to bring in talent (though it has backfired on a few occasions, most recently Rendon); and (5) the option to live your life without being mobbed for being a celebrity. All of this while living in one of the two biggest best markets for food, culture and entertainment in the US.

All of the teams in your "Top 20 MLB teams" list have had a stretch like the Angels, yet the talented players on the Angels still have tremendous marketability and national exposure, which is not always the case for top players in other markets, like Cleveland, Minnesota and Tampa Bay.

You make excellent points......for someone who cares more about location & other fluff then winning.

He could have had pretty much all you mentioned if he just went across town and played for a winner.
