Trout's sophomore season may be best ever
- Thread starter Da_Eggman
- Start date
sorry all i care about is batting average, home runs, runs, rbis, hits and walks, slugging percentage and on base percentage
all these war and other metrics
Average and RBIs are archaic and uninformative.
Everything else you mentioned, plus baserunning and defense, are aggregated into single metrics like WAR, VORP, Win Shares, etc.
No reason to do it yet. He's not even arbitration eligible until after 2014, which means he's going to be paid shyt again next year (~$1.5M). But if he gets there, he'll shatter the arb records....something like $15M/$20M/$25M isn't out of the question given how much better than anyone else has ever been heading into arbitration.
Given the Angles recent FA disasters, they might even be content to let that year-to-year scenario play out. Of course if they do that he'd hit free agency at age 26
God only knows the kind of contract he would earn then.

They tell you very little about a player's value.

Backload a $250 mil deal that covers all of his prime, or pay him $300 mil in FA for a deal that goes well into his 30's.
