Trout torn meniscus. Needs surgery. Out 4-6 weeks. Gut punch (especially for Carolina Speed.). That sucks.
It's a gut punch to the legacy of white athletes everywhere! As Mike Trout is arguably the greatest baseball talent we've ever seen. All you have to do is look up his first 6 year stats. The man was ahead of Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb!!! The 2 two greatest players of all time. However, in this modern age, most people will still believe the Bonds and Mays or Aaron were the best ever and you could throw Mantle in there as well, but he suffered injuries and was an alcoholic that hurt his career. Ted Williams is up there as well, but missed 3 years of his prime to serve his country in the military.Trout torn meniscus. Needs surgery. Out 4-6 weeks. Gut punch (especially for Carolina Speed.). That sucks.
He and Bobby Witt Jr have started off strong and are 1-2 in WAR in the AL.Baltimore 22 year old SS Gunnar Henderson has hit his 10th HR tying Mike Trout in a 3-24 slump, for the league lead.
Henderson also leading the league in Total Bases with 72.
There must be something seriously wrong with either trout’s personal training or the angels s&c program. He should not be getting injured this much without there being a fundamental problem in his training. This, unfortunately, is starting to remind me of jj watt- another powerfully built man who maybe focused training strength too much at the expense of also building up strong tendons and smaller muscle groups and musculature imbalancesThe guy just cannot stay healthy. While he is still a HOF player, it is safe to say his career will be far short of the accomplishments his first 6 years was on.
The best ability is availability and Trout is sorely lacking in that regard. A damn shame.
With top stars Mike Trout out for 6-8 weeks and now Trea Turner, there are a few guys playing very well early.Damn, Trea Turner out 6 weeks with a hamstring injury. He was having a great season hitting .343.
Big time. Only one homer given up in 30+ innings of action in the minors.Paul Skenes, the first overall draft pick last year, has been called up by the Pirates and is scheduled to make his first start on Saturday against the Cubs. Skenes is a 6'6" righthander out of LSU. From what I've been reading and hearing, Skenes is the most heralded college pitching prospect since Stephen Strasburg. Best of success to him in the Majors.
