Trout is also credited for creating 8.7 runs on the bases while Cabrera cost his team 5.5. That's a total of 31 runs difference between the two players between baserunning and defense. That's a massive difference. Not to mention the 21 extra outs Cabrera created by grounding into double plays. Last edited by Atocep : 10-05-2012 at 09:34 PM. |

Out of curiosity, in which game did Trout score that 7/10ths of a run? I'd love to take a look at that boxscore.

So... Josh Hamilton, do you give him a mega contract? Personally I'd have to say no for the same reason I hope the Angels won't throw too much money at Greinke, but I understand people are going to go nuts over his talent.
Who are the frontrunners? Red Sox, trying to start over with a new star? |

His team played in a shitty division and still only had the 7th-best record. Since Trout was called up, the Angels had the best record in the league. Trout's team was better, and it had to face much better competition. Cabrera also eliminated (rally-killed) 21 extra baserunners with GDPs than Trout. Quote:
I'll give you that Cabrera was more productive at the plate in the late innings. But they don't start keeping score in the seventh inning. Trout was the more productive offensive player overall. Even if we concede that Cabrera was better at the plate and give him bonus points for hitting in the clutch, there's no way it makes up for the significant difference in defensive value. |

Damn. I actually liked him even though he wasn't a star player. Maybe it's because he tried to take on the whole Atlanta Braves team one time.
