The Official Mike Trout Thread

[005]

He'll hit it after next season, though, certainly.

 

[whocaresgobobcats]

but he probably will after 2014 with 2.159.

yeah, since the super two went up to the top 22%, the cut off date is later, around July

 

[005]

iirc, the nationals, even if somebody hadn't gotten hurt forcing their hand to call him up, were gonna call him up whenever they wanted and say **** the eventual super 2 status.

 

[whocaresgobobcats]

and looking at it, Trout won't be a super two most likely.

he can help them win now. they can pay for it later.

It is going to be close.. I see him being a bargain somewhere in the neighborhood of 180 to 190.. But it is the Dodgers so..

Kershaw is going to get PAID. But I worry about a 25 year old with almost 1,000 innings on that arm of is.

 

[TBrown]

Kershaw should, and probably will, get more than price and Verlander

Bingo.

 

[TBrown]

I'd bet on the 25 yr old over the 30 yr old.

Who is the 30 year old?

 

[TBrown]

Verlander

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

Verlander

Oh yeah, no doubt there at all. But Verlander has made love to Kate Upton. So it all evens out.

 

[005]

verlander is 30. price will be after his arb. years

 

[005]

price has made endless love to himself

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

price has made endless love to himself

Lol. Yeah for real tho.

 

[zjcvols]

I'd bet on the 25 yr old over the 30 yr old.

I don't think Verlander is going to get anything more than 5-6 years. But he's definitely going to get per year a ton of cash. I'm thinking exactly Josh Hamilton's contract. 5 years/$125M

 

[TBrown]

If the tigers offer him 5/125 he will scoff and head to free agency.

Should have clarified. That's what he should get. He's going to get more. The interesting part is will Detroit wait? He's not a FA till after 2014. He'll be 32 when that happens. At that rate, he'll have pitched somewhere around 1,400 innings in the last six years. I just don't know if someone is going to give a 32 year old pitcher a 7-8 year contract.

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

I disagree with this.

I think ESPN, like some of you and the haters, wanted Harper to pull some brash, cocky moves so that he could be a huge, polarizing talking point for them. While Trout was always the good guy. Regardless of their performances.

He has disappointed them, in that regard. Not on the field. :hi:

lol Dbake went all TideWarrior on this post :hi:

 

[005]

Still true. Don't worry he'll be full-fledged douche mode this year.

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

:hmm:

 

[005]

I am mentally prepared for it

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

I am proud that you've got past the douche denial stage tho


:clapping:

 

[005]

Well. I still think the hate will be overdone. But there will be a benches clearing brawl and it will be ~75% due to Harper.

You just better hope he doesn't piss off my man Kyle "Black Belt Ninja" Farnsworth
