There’s no doubt Mark Trumbo is a talented baseball player. But as Tony “Duke” Burton told Apollo Creed in Rocky II, “He’s all wrong for us, baby.”
One can easily counterattack the previous statement. From 2011 to 2013, Mark racked up 95 homers as an Angel. Look away as I mention his 2016 season, M’s nation. In Mark’s first year away from Seattle, he defined career year with 47 homers, 108 runs batted in, and his second All-Star appearance.
Setting that success story aside, we need to look at strikeouts and batting average.
