2K12: Mike Trout

[Hornsby]

He's referring to you confusing Bryce Harper with Mike Trout, who this thread is about, FYI.

Yep, gotta admit that this is probably the first time that someone has placed a post in the wrong area...oh the shame.

Is he worth trading Stanton for?

Straight up in a non-keeper? No. In a dynasty? I could see the argument depending on the circumstances.

I think Trout is up for good and he'll get all the PT he can handle. 400-450 AB, .260-.265, 7-8 HR, 20-25 steals. Unless he gets to the top of the order, his R/RBI won't be anything to write home about (the Angels' offense is not all that good). In a shallow mixed league he's probably not worth a spot, but I'd keep him for a week or two and try to trade him, or hold him in case he is ready to put up the numbers Mith posted.

I'm a bit more bullish on Trout than you joncarlos...needless to say, I made the deal. Just don't trust Stanton's knee and consider Trout here to stay and a Brett Gardner type with a bit more power. If Stanton can get past the meniscus issue I will be wrong, but I was fine to roll the dice on this one. Appreciate the analysis!
