Muh Alex Gordon

[JSFIP]

Ok so we all know Trout is GOAT. Why does everyone on this garbage forum feel the need to say that Alex Gordon is better than Mike Trout? Stop trying to be baseball hipsters and just be a normal, rational person who knows the clear fact that Trout is better than Gordon. That is all.

Trout walks too much. Gordon for sure. But who cares? Balotelli got transferred to Liverpool!

Please tell me you're trolling. PLEASE! And Balo to Anfield isn't official just yet but yeah you're probably right

You didn't answer my question. But sick contribution bro, your contributions are sick, everyone knows that

Gordon > Trout. Just look at the WAR.

Defensive WAR is flawed and you know it. You're a legit troll psycho if you'd take Gordon over Trout

Uh ok

[theblujay]

But I just wanna say that defensive WAR is definitely screwed up

Who?

Sorry BTS, but have you looked at Trout's RBI vs. Gordon's? I'll take the run producer every time.

I will take Gordon in LF over Trout in CF any day of the week.

 

Exactly. Gordon is like the Mike Trout of LF.

Gordon is way better. Trout hits way too many homeruns for my taste I prefer Gordon's singles as they keep the inning going

 

Trout is maybe maybe slightly better than melky and that's debatable

 

I also like hamburgers better then stakes

I'm surprised there hasn't been a GD white text bait yet in here.

I figured the walks too much bit was enough.

JSFIP - so glad to hear from you. You have always been a voice of reason in this wilderness. You kept us sane after that first horrible game so long ago in Tampa Bay. But it hasn't turned out all roses... do you still believe in this team?? It ain't over yet... but it's getting close.

 

Back to topic. I do not believe that the regulars on this forum think Alex Gordon is better then Mike Trout. I haven't followed such a debate closely but I'd suspect the great minds of this forum would appreciate that Trout is better and look closely at the WAR formula to see what is going on.

 

I will say this. If Gordon is positive on defense and Trout negative it could make the difference. Let's say Trout is 2 wins better on O... But Gordon is 1.5+ on D, and Trout is 1.5 negative on D. That is 3 wins right there.

 

While it might seem antituitive it happens. Over 162 games guys can cost a team (or gain a team) a win or two on D...

 

Hopefully everybody has provided you with the level of respectful debate you deserve. All the best.
