I'm as big a fan of Trumbo as anyone and I am sorry to see him go.

That said, Arles, you'll need to remove the DBack glasses on this one. Trumbo took a marked step back this past season, with his worst AVG, OPS and OPS+ yet. He only achieved career highs in HRs and RBIs because he had the most ABs of his career. Trumbo is a subpar runner at best, and is atrocious defensively everywhere except first base, which he won't play for the DBacks.

He is a very streaky hitter as well, and when he goes into a funk it is fittingly Grand Canyon sized. He hasn't shown much ability to adjust, and you have to be concerned that his OPS drop this season is less about a bad season and more about the league adjusting to him and him not adjusting very well back.

And, like I said, this is coming from a fan who actually likes Trumbo quite a bit.

You'll love the power when you get it, but he will frustrate you far more often.
