Today Trout was named ESPNs defensive player of the year

Clap that's great. He will get rookie and a gold glove. Too bad he won't get a MVP cause of the moronic voters.

[natepro]

Silver Slugger, too.

[vladdy#27]

They'll probably end up creating a couple of awards in his honor

And maybe rename some awards, the Mike Trout Award, previously known as the Hank Aaron award

The Jackie Robinson award (ROY) should be changed to the Mike Trout award.

[Scotty1Kenobi]

Roy & mvp.

I've been wondering this for a while, but if Trout wins gold glove for center field, is it justifiable to then put him in LF so Bourjos can play CF?

[natepro]

I still think Bourjos is the better CFer. Not only that, but Trout's bat translates better to LF than Bourjos' does.


But really, they're both so good we could just go with two DH, and have one of them play left-center and the other right-center.

@Angels: CONGRATS MIKE: @Trouty20 named Baseball America 2012 Player of the Year & Rookie of the Year! Trout becomes the 1st player to win both awards in the same season, and the 1st #Angels player to win either award.

CF Mike Trout is The Sporting News AL rookie of the year. He "edged out" Yu Darvish and Yoenis Cespedes in player voting, 88-2-2.

How did Darvish and Cespedes each get two votes

[Pakman]

Must of been the voters trolling.

[natepro]

How did Darvish and Cespedes each get two votes

Because four people wanted to give them a good excuse to take their voting rights away.

If Trout isn't the most obvious, unanimous ROY in history, I don't know who is.

@JeffFletcherOCR: Mike Trout wins the Fielding Bible award in CF. #Angels

[vladdy#27]

Miguel Cabrera wins Sporting News Player of the Year. Mike Trout finishes 2nd. Voting by players. Cabrera 108 votes, Trout 71. Next closest was 5

How 113 votes went to people other than Trout is beyond me
