37.9 WAR, .304 BA, 744 H, 139 HR, 397 RBI

Is this one even a debate?

You could make an argument that it is, but I’m arguing that it isn’t.

Trout’s numbers are already some of the greatest the game has ever seen, let alone what the franchise has witnessed.

In his four years as a starter, Trout is a four-time All-Star and Silver Slugger winner, MVP winner and three-time MVP runner-up. His offensive numbers are glaring and have already etched his name in the franchise’s top-25 in hits, home runs, runs batted in, and stolen bases.

He leads all Angels center fielders in home runs, batting average, triples and slugging percentage.

Further, he has led the Majors in wins above replacement in each of the last four seasons and while he’s already the greatest Los Angeles Angels center fielder of all-time, I dare to say he may go down as the greatest Angels player to ever put on a uniform.

Only time will tell.

Do you agree with my list?
