Trout Nearing Hall Of Fame-Level WAR Range 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sat Sep 7, 2013 3:21 pm

Mike Trout is just 22 years old and nearing the end of his second Major League season.


Baseball-Reference credits Trout as being worth 20 Wins Above Replacement over his career, an astounding number for a player that has played in just 315 games.


A player generally becomes a legitimate Hall of Fame candidate when he gets into the 50-60 WAR range, meaning Trout is on place to reach that level in 2-3 years at his current level of production. Even at a fraction of his current level, Trout is 6-8 weeks away from the conversation.
