Not arguing against it, just find it tiring.

Oh, in this case Trout is like Bo Jackson underrated. I get what the gripe is, because the other sports debate that as a talking point but baseball doesn't really do it, and Mike Trout is largely never given the credit he's due. While I'm not familiar with the big names of the past, for Trout to be putting up the numbers he does in modern day, it's incredible. I love who he represents as a person, so I do think he's the greatest, though there's plenty of time to go. He's definitely on pace.
