Well it does seem as though Samar isn't really on the trade block. Sounds like they would only move him in a massive overpay or if his contract demands are completely unreasonable, eliminating the chance of signing him long term. Nice.

NotGraphs, Mike Trout award.
I liked this comment.
In a related story, Fangraphs is replacing the WAR statistic with WUT (Wins Under Trout). League leaders for 2013 are:
NL – Andrew McCutchen (2.2 WUT)
AL – Mike Trout (0.0 WUT)
I wonder how she'd take it if she found out some of us "fans" want him to become a starter again regardless if he flames out or gets hurt because of it.
Some lazy trolling going on in here. Troll harder!

As per the topic. Visual observations and the human element are very flawed. People see what they want to see a lot of the time, its just human nature.
