Mike Trout: 14 Seasons, 3x MVP, ROY, 11x All-Star, 4x MVP Runner-Up...ZERO Post-season Ws

[Aje]

Damn, breh. What a waste of beastly talent.

Come back home to the tri-state, holmes. The Yanks will make you a nice home.

*updated for 2021

I know this year that calf injury killed his season...

They might have a squad next year if they get just ONE pitcher.

Angels can finally spend money next season. Hopefully upton stays and they bring in one arm to go with the young pitchers they have

 

[Colin X]

Probably the best athlete nobody cares about

Hopefully man. As an Angels fan the fact we're really out here wasting Mike trouts career is

Trout grew up in New Jersey as a Yankees fan.
And the Yankees had every intention of drafting Trout in 2009.

But the thing was, in the 2008 offseason, the Yankees signed Mark Teixeira, who was on the Angels. So LAA got a Yankees draft pick. And that’s the one they used on Trout.

That's crazy!

What's funny is before trout the angels had a great run of being competitive but since he got there that team has been a mess

The Albert signing was such a horrible move

 

[pete clemenza]

Yeah this shyt is crazy. No post season appearances plus he doesn't really help promote the game like other stars do. He's damn near completely invisible

Yanks had the pick right after the Halos got Trout, too

nah, he's played in three post-season games - three losses to KC.

 

[Da_Eggman]

He didn't even test free agency at all too sign early when he could of got an insane contract

Very close.

The Angels took Trout with the 25th pick.
The Yankees picked Slade Heathcott 29th.

Heathcott did have tremendous talent. But he was injured a bit and wasn't able to put it together. He's in the SF Giants minor league system now.

Got the insane contract

But will probably never play in a World Series ever at this rate

 

[#1 pick]

Braves drafted Mike Minor that year

Breh what the fukk yall pushing out there to give damn near a billy to him and Pujols

 

[Stop_It_5]

A dope scenario would've involved Harper joining him in LA, and Ohtani staying healthy in both roles. Angels would've been a fun attraction.
