I would prefer that Trout wins a world series rather than a triple crown.

I have no doubt that the current structure of this team prevents him from achieving both.

I can envision Trout winning a triple crown, MVP, silver slugger and a championship all in the same season but I just don't think it will be in Anaheim.

Word of the day: Pressure

It's an awesome achievement. I'm sure Trout would like one.

Yes he won 5 championships with the same team. I'm not sure anyone will ever do that again.

Pujols is hitting .314 with RISP this year, not over .400. He hit .237 with RISP in 2015 so if this is a skill it's one he learned real recently I guess?

The year Mantle won his triple crown he hit .444 with RISP. 

That's clutch IMHO.

.314 is very good if your right

He had a bad RISP season in 2014 too..  other than he's been good to great.

2016 - .309/.389/.509 .... Career - .320/.447/.591

How much weight people should put in hitting with RISP as a skill is a different matter.

 

[Ohtaniland]

Espinosa is a lifetime .206 hitter w RISP.

Valbuena is a lifetime .216 hitter w RISP

I said LIFETIME so we all knew this and everyone here is surprised about their lack of production. Angels scouting swinging and missing as usual and they forked out $20M for these guys.

Which was 150 points higher than his previous year and 100 points higher than his subsequent year. The point is that a 'clutch' stat like avg w/ RISP is descriptive, not predictive. Players don't lose or gain ability depending on if a runner is on 2nd or not. Clutch, as a skill, has been debunked so many ways we might as well argue about whether the earth is round or flat.

It's flat, I've seen it.

Trout has been intentionally walked with RISP and 1st base open. That doesn't go down as an AB w/risp and is a lost opportunity for Trout because Pujols sucks balls. So, I say Pujols does cost Trout some RBIs. 

How many times did this happen?

Give us a list of the players in all of baseball who could hit behind Trout that would make a team pitch to him with RISP and 1B open

That's easy. Here you go:

Pujols doesn't just magically turn into an amazing hitter when there are runners in scoring position. 

Actually he does.

1. It has just as much to do with the guys in front of you getting on base. 

2. You can record an out and still get an RBI. Grounding into a DP with the bases loaded and no outs, for example. Pretty much the worst outcome. +1 RBI.

3. Troll Daddy likes them

4. Getting at bats with runners on base is entirely random

The hitter doesn't get credit for an RBI if he grounds into a DP with the bases loaded.

Actually, you don't get credit for an RBI when grounding into a double play. The rest of the points are valid, though.

What are his career numbers? Let me save you the trouble  .320/.447/.591/1.037 that is even counting your two down years.

Quit trying to be Clod.

It's a trick question.  He will have retired by then.

I really don't think he'll walk away from $30M. He may as well have signed for less years with the Cardinals.
