And no. A pitcher is not more valuable than the players behind him. Dale said it best that they're equal in value, though that's going to vary based on the talent of the player. Now you're saying they're equal value, after trying to say pitchers are more valuable. Which one is it?

He said an entire team has to suck ass to make Fenix lose games. Not 1 player.

I never said Trout was not the most valuable. You are 100% missing the point.

Seriously, read what I am saying. On the given day a starting pitcher is starting he is more valuable. Over a 5 day period they are equal since the starting pitcher only pitches once.
