No, he wasn't. Trout is a better all around hitter and a much better baserunner. If trout continues his current trajectory he'll be up there with Ruth, Mays, Aaron. . . the true immortals of the game. 2018 Trout is better than any version of Griffey.



Griffey already stands with the immortals. Don't be an idiot.

Griffey is not in the Aaron, Mays, Ruth tier. He was phenomenal with the Mariners but his career and body fell apart once he went to Cincinnati. Trout is also playing at a higher level than Griffey Jr ever played at and he has had a better start to his career than Jr. Pointing out the obvious is not idiotic.

This is stupid. They're both very similar through age 25 and Griffey was a beast for nearly 5 straight more seasons before injuries started taking their toll.

Trout is having one of the great starts to a career. A long way to go.

I guess you could say Griffey and Mantle had similar careers. Both still stand as immortals...even with injury reduced output for a significant portion of their careers.

Trout is GOAT, if he plays a full career without serious injury.

Yeah and a lot of meatball Cub fans still think half their roster is better. :lol:


Are you saying people think individual Cubs are better than Trout?

or

Are you saying people think it's crazy to trade half their talent away to get him?


Why the fuck would any World Series competitive team trade away half their starting team to acquire Trout? He'd be jumping from one shitty situation to another. It reminds me of the Herschel Walker trade.

No he's saying Cub fans think the Cubs have 13 players better than Trout.


Dats zactly right.

I think it’s quite clear Javy’s tags tip the scales to him.

Peculiar that he chose 1,001 games.

Offensively, there is no doubt Pujols was a monster.

Pujols must have had a really bad game 1,002.

Are people really arguing Griffey > Trout? I don't think you really want to go there. Statistically threw 1st 7 seasons Trout destroys Griffey.
