08:17 AM ET 08.14 | To date, Mike Trout has done just about all he could for the Angels. But did you know he's having the single greatest rookie season in baseball history? And one of the most unusual seasons -- by anyone, ever? Those are mostly factual statements, with a bit of opinion in there. You know how it is with stat-based baseball arguments: so much depends on which stats you value, and which style of ballplayer you prefer. ... But already he's doing something that has never been done in baseball history. Trout is hitting .340 with 21 home runs and 36 stolen bases, and if the season ended today -- which it won't, but bear with me -- he would be the first player in baseball history to post those three numbers in the same year.

Time for his chance. I hear Morosi on the radio every morning talking like the kid is the savior cometh.

Call it what you want but there's no denying he's doing a lot of everything. Hopefully he can show the same consistency over the years that Pujols has had.

Trout is having a great year, the final 6-7 weeks are the toughest on a Young body, he should hold up but in the unlikely event it doesn't, I won't hold that against him! He's Terrific!

Why wouldn't his body hold up? He's the youngest guy on the team and hasn't even been on the roster the whole season.

Wasn't too long ago that Fred Lynn won MVP and rookie of the year in the same season.
