    Lots of talk now that Trout got the crazy money.
    But the basic numbers suggest that when you watch Mike Trout play you're pretty much watching Mickey Mantle.
    Very similar career numbers, up to 26 years old, and I take comfort in the fact that they both took pride in being stud Centerfielders.
    Locking up Trout for the rest of his playing days makes sense to me.

    Thanks for reading and commenting. Trout looks like he will be great for several years. He seems to work very hard
