Maybe Trout goes on a tear now and hits his 400th career homer shortly after the All Star break.

He still crushes low fastballs that aren’t quite fast enough.

Just looked up Nettle's BR page. Quite the career he had and at this pace, Nettles might end up with the more productive career than Trout. Trout had multiple MVP and Top-3 MVP seasons so much higher peak but Nettles having more than 30 WAR after 30 is quite impressive.

Nettles played 22 seasons and has over 3000 more at bats than Trout currently. Not sure what 'productive' eludes to unless you mean counting statistics. Trout has one more career home run and just about 20 more WAR. Trout may also pass Nettles in career runs scored this season but lags in hits and rbi's due to 7 less seasons + 4 lost seasons of injuries. That should sort of tell you how much better Trout actually is in his per game output in his career.

Looks like the missed time is going to cost Trout a starting all-star spot. He has better counting stats vs. the other players, albiet with a much lower average. The injuries just keep denting his legacy and prices are reflecting it. Such a shame.

One of the BEST...anywhere over (or not over) the plate, HR hitters, for sure! Just sayin'

Ops has crawled back over .800

He’s been heading in the right direction lately.

Trout's 0.6 WAR is nearly the same as Colson Montgomery's. Colson Montgomery has 13 at-bats this year.

He made one of the best catches I've ever seen. I have a feeling his defensive WAR is a bit disproportionate right now based on a small sample size.

Me neither. He was “Baseball Card famous” in the early 80s.
