As the Angels are not headed to the postseason, it is unlikely that Trout will receive serious consideration for the AL MVP Award, but that doesn't mean the center fielder didn't have an MVP-type season, as he finished 2013 with a remarkable .323/.432/.557 slash line.","date":"Sun Sep 29"},"fullName":"Mike Trout","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"We have never seen a rookie season like the one Trout just put forth. We might never again. He became the first rookie -- and youngest player -- in history to join the 30/30 club, the first player (not just rookie, player) to manage at least 30 home runs, 45 stolen bases and 125 runs in a season, and only the fourth player to bat at least .320 with 30 homers at the age of 20 or younger (Mel Ott, Ted Williams and Alex Rodriguez are the others). Trout also did so while providing outstanding defense -- his 21 Defensive Runs Saved were third-most among outfielders -- assuring he'll remain a fixture in the Angels' everyday lineup. We might have just witnessed the best year of Trout's career, and obviously his chances of regressing somewhat are high. But to what extent? His MVP-race detractors routinely pointed out his \"late-season swoon,\" which amounted to a .269/.369/.455 line with six homers and eight steals; those project to 26 homers and 35 steals over a full year. Well, we've done the math for you: Even that level of performance would still earn Trout an easy place among the three most productive players in fantasy baseball. Talk about a downside -- or, in this case, lack thereof.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Mon Feb 11"},"playerRater30DAY":7.5,"playerRater15DAY":6,"positionRank":1}
