**The Perennial MIKE TROUT Thread**
 

Since we will hopefully be discussing the wonders of Mike Trout for several years to come (and since the 2018 thread has devolved into one member’s personal trash bin), thought it would be good to create a new thread with no expiration date.

As always, kids, please stay off the drugs. This is a drug-free thread.

Thanks!

Excellent idea!
Just a hunch, but still thinking Trout ends up with Phillies next year.

I have no skin in the game, but I wish Trout would stay put for his entire career. I don't like the concept of superstars (and in this case, the biggest superstar of this generation) 'having' to leave.

The Angels are in LA after all, and someday these ridiculous contracts will be gone. It's not like they are hopeless, they did just win 98 games a few years ago.

Where can he go and win a World Series? That is what he needs. Not sure Philly helps with that.

Wherever he ends up I hope those of us in here are able to take advantage of the sleepy winter months to find deals on Trout cards :)!

Just want to post on the first page :)

Angels for life! Not too long ago they had the best record in baseball... they even started the year with the best record for a while. A new manager, getting rid off PooHole, and a couple of pitchers, and they are back in the thick of it.

There's a big rebuild looming and I'm not sure Trout wants to waste more years with Angels. He's been a good soldier-time to follow his own destiny.

Great idea for the new thread. Thanks jj.

Picture time. Not a prospect. Not a rookie. Just one of my personal favorites!

Fair warning, I will make a 2019 Trout thread! :)!

I'm on drugs, what are we talking about here again?

In on the first page so I can show my grandkids someday that I posted on the longest thread of the most legendary modern player.

The 2018 thread went well

GO FISH!

He's going to the Braves....Then I woke up.

Off season of 2017-2018 I bought a 2011 PSA 10 Update Trout for $250 and flipped mid season for $650. I thought that card would be in my collection forever but he deal was too good to pass up.

I thought about what a Pujols and Griffey rookie could currently be bought for and made the decision to buy a Trout again down the line. I’m not sure if I’ll try again this offseason or wait a few years. Probably just depends on cash flow at any time

Way to early for the hype. (Need the update prices to keep dropping)

Winter deals let's hope

Don’t think it would happen, but the Braves have the team, money, and prospects that could make that work. I hope he stays away from Philly. Worst fans and no way I could root for him at that point. A lot of America would feel the same. Please don’t do it Mike!

however unlikely the idea of trout on the braves :p

Hadn’t considered Trout to the Braves, but it’s an intriguing idea. I don’t hate it.

Could definitely do much worse than that (staying on the Angels, as just one such example).

It's over Johnny!

Will Topps have him in his new uni for the Transcendent Party?
