    Trout turned 23 today. Celebrated by hitting his 26th home run of the season.

    The only thing I'd be worried about is that body type aging well. He's a big man for that age.

    I think he's headed for a huge fall -- he'll hit .385 in September and five home runs in the World Series. [/rimshot]

    You have seen this video of Trout's standing box jump, right? Freaking incredible.

    Thread is notable for @RickStain giving an earnest answer to my question.

    When he turned on me, it was like getting unfriended on Facebook by an old pal.

    Anaheim will once again not be playing this fall, so not expecting much from Trout.
