That's an advanced metric, you should think it's stupid.

Now that's a good one!

He's a keeper. Rebuild the team around Trout, him, and Maldonado. The rest of them can hit the road.

Yeah, I know, we're stuck with Pujols...

Maldonado is a Catcher in his early 30's...you don't rebuild a team around him

Rebuild may be a strong word for him.   But I can see him being a productive part of this team for 5 more seasons, as he is only 31 next season and this is the first time he has caught this many MLB games (90) in a season.

Graterol probably needs more starts the rest of 2017 to not push Maldonado too much beyond 110 games.

I think the fact that Simmons began playing in 2012 is the amazing part ... yet, he's third all-time since 2003

He has a higher WAR than Trout this year (higher on some, equal on fangraphs). Still impressive even though Trout obviously missed awhile.
