Just 25 and with five full major-league seasons on his résumé, Trout has significantly more WAR than anyone in baseball during that five-year span (47.8), and is top-10 ranked in most every measurable category one could pick for fantasy baseball: Batting average (6th), home runs (5th), RBIs (7th), runs scored (1st), stolen bases (10th), on-base percentage (2nd), slugging percentage (3rd)… the list has no end. Those who enjoy picking nits can claim, \"But only one of those rankings was first place,\" or cavil that Trout's Angels are an uncompetitive team that might sap his runs, RBIs and perhaps cost a handful of trips to the plate. Still, if there's a poster boy for \"sure thing,\" it's Trout in any format, as his statistical floor is higher than anyone's. And isn't that what your team's leading investment is all about?","seasonId":2017,"date":"Fri Mar 3"},"playerRater30DAY":0,"playerRater15DAY":3.8,"positionRank":12}
