Only 2 non-HH votes for Trumbo?

Even after winning AL ROY honors from both The Sporting News & the MLB Players, only two bloggers on all of SBN thought Trumbo was worthy of even a 3rd place vote?

All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine.

Walks aren't a reason to discount Trumbo's performance since they're just a false stat.

The real problem with Trumbo is that he hit the same number of solo HRs this year as Napoli did for us last year. And we all know Napoli is a worthless piece of garbage with no resistance power – as made perfectly clear by our highly-esteemed, luminous manager.

Vernon Wells 2011 Stats (.218/.248/.412) and 2010 road stats (.224/.299/.400). The front office shouldn't have been surprised.

For the novices...

It’s gone now, but courtesy of the wayback machine: http://web.archive.org/web/20090414174211/http://www.1866baseball.com/los-angeles-angels-of-anaheim-baseball-team.html

If the Halos don't care about the way they play, then why should I?

by red floyd on Nov 7, 2011 3:11 PM PST up reply actions  

It's a damn shame it's gone.

It looks like it disappeared in 2009. It’s no coincidence that 2009 was our last solid baseball year.

Someone needs to get 1866baseball back up and running if we ever want to see the playoffs again.

None of these guys better than Trumbo

Hosmer second? Only 98 ABs? This guy is eligible to win ROY two years in a row?

The rest of this list doesn’t make any sense either.

I still like the formula: MT = ROY.

by Seraphan on Nov 7, 2011 12:21 PM PST reply actions  

oops, you're right, but

the stats on the SbNation link were confusing, must say. Thanks.

Still, MT=ROY!

by Seraphan on Nov 7, 2011 2:30 PM PST up reply actions  

I would trade Trumbo for anyone else on that AL list.

I might even trade him for anyone on the NL list, but I’m to GA to look up or care who they are.

Who is Michael Pineda?

Never heard of him.

stuffed the hell out of the ballot box on this one.

Alexi Ogando is not a rookie, by any measure

He appeared in almost 50 games in 2010. And was one of Texas’ best relief pitchers from early June.

How does he qualify?

Overall, I agree with this.

by IE Angel on Nov 7, 2011 2:15 PM PST reply actions  

Ya, I don't think Ogando qualifies as a rookie.

He pitched fewer than 50 innings in 2010, but I think he passed the service time requirement(45 days on the active roster before September 1)

to LSB's credit

on the internal SBN communiques, their blogmaster pointed this out, so it weren’t from them.

by Rev Halofan on Nov 7, 2011 2:58 PM PST up reply actions  

Internal communiques sounds like a fancy term for directions.

And arrogant, inbred shitkickers don’t take to kindly to bein’ told what to do.

in plain english

we all email each other and the dude form LSB was like “uh this ain’t right”

by Rev Halofan on Nov 7, 2011 11:22 PM PST up reply actions  

That list is laughable...Pineda?! Hosmer is the only person who would give Trumbo comp.

alas, this is the news we have to wade through in the early hours of the off season

by Halostradamus on Nov 7, 2011 2:53 PM PST reply actions  

It's laughable that you think Hosmer is the only person that compares to Trumbo

Hellickson should have been the AL ROY. I don’t think you can go wrong with Hosmer, Trumbo, Pineda, and Nova in no particular order after Hellickson. Once you get past Trumbo’s homerun totals, there just isn’t a whole lot to make him the choice over Hellickson.

by Howie the Halo on Nov 7, 2011 7:05 PM PST up reply actions  

I take it we can't put together a consensus about where Trumbo ranks defensively.

I heard throughout the season wildly varying reports from second to 25th. I know you’re not supposed to have to qualify it like this, but for a rookie who was supposed to be one of the worst I was pretty impressed with the glove.

by Halowitz on Nov 7, 2011 8:16 PM PST via mobile up reply actions  

Just shows why bloggers are bloggers and not real writers like that Whicker guy.

PS- Rev, I am just joking, don’t ban me.

Should change my screen name to Stuck with Premium.

by stuck in Romania on Nov 7, 2011 3:28 PM PST reply actions  

Except for Ogando

This looks about right to me. Trumbo didn’t get on base nearly enough.

I feel like sticking up for Pineda too

Maybe Trumbo deserves an “exceeded expectations” award, but Pineda came in to the league and threw the ball just about as well as anyone possibly can these days. I mean, 173 K’s to 55 BB’s in 171 IP? He would have gone 18-4 and won the ROY running away if he could have switched rotation spots with Ivan Nova.
