Why do we have to fast forward and project? Mike Trout, like Matt Kemp, has displayed the patience at the plate, the ability to steal bases, a gold glove, hit hit for average, use of all sides of the field, increased power and clutch gene that Matt K has. I am so thankful that both of these players exist in Cali! What an amazing thing. We have two of the best four outfielders in baseball — including Andrew McCutchen and Ryan Braun(the best) — in our own state. I think it’s interesting that most of the people “raining” on the Mike Trout parade are Dodger fans or LA related. It seems, they’re worried another might swap the title of being the “best” from their own. Lastly: This article ignores the face that while it took Kemp two years to come into his own(both seasons after unlike Trout’s this year) it has taken Trout his ROOKIE year. Doesn’t that say something? Isn’t the kid, perhaps, ahead of the curve, therefore built brick brick with an all star’s game? Just watch him five straight games. Ignore Dodger baseball and step into Trout baseball for a time. Watch the kid does. He can go 0 for 3, walk once, steal a base, score a run and steal another one or two with his glove. The guy is an industrious gamer.
