    Mattingly at that time was the best player in baseball and his numbers were staggering.

    It's not a far fetch to want to put the two stats side by side.

    Take a look at Pujols and Trout stats side by side.  Everyone seems to forget just how amazing Pujols was as do they forget about how great Mattingly was for the first 9 years of his carer.
    That was my point. People here are including the final 5 years of Mattingly's with what Trout will most likely accomplish in the next 5-10 years.
    No. We're comparing the numbers you posted.

    That's different. Those are guys who played 20+ years. And retired in their late 30s early 40s Mattingly retired at 34. Played 14 seasons (12 full seasons) Which proves my point that you're including Mattingly's final years. I was saying for the first 9 years or similar amount of games. The numbers were not that far from each other. And that 9th year I included he missed 50 games. So I could've chosen the 92 or 93 season to make it look better.
    Using the race analogy. If both runners are neck and neck. Maybe one guy is ahead a half second. And the other guy gets hurt half way. That doesn't mean the guy who couldn't finish the race wasn't up to that point a top runner.

    THE ARTICLE IS COMPARING THEIR FIRST 1000 GAMES......just like the stats you provided comparing Trout and Mattingly's first however many years in the league.

    j

    I know. But they're still comparing to guys who played a long time. And were able to have full career. They're not going to put Mattingly on that list because the final 6 were not as great. They were still good considering. And if he played another 5 or 6  years. His numbers would have filled out nicely.
    If ESPN did the same article in 89. They would be doing the same for Mattingly.  Keep in mind Mattingly wasn't thought of as a homerun hitter. They're not going to say "Well in 5 years he won't be the same player because of a bad back. So we can't compare him to guys who played over 20 years."

    The same thing could happen to Trout next week and he might not be the same player. (Although he's buitl differently so he might overcome it a little more). It doesn't mean what he did before wasn't great or comparable to previous greats.

    in case you missed it, yesterday was bobby bonilla day.

    $1.2 million every july 1 from 2011 to 2035. the mets decided on this, rather than give him a $5.9M buyout in 2000, because they were making so much money with bernie madoff.

    I'll throw this in the mix.

    Can you name another player other than Mattingly, that had a great burst his first few years then fizzled out and isn't in the hall?

    Soriano, Helton, Larry Walker?  Anybody else?

    I would compare his numbers to another HOF'er in Kirby Puckett.  I still don't understand how he got in but he is in.

    There numbers are really, really close.
