Of course he could always have injury issues. But it seem to me that you're drastically underrating the historic nature of his performances in his first two seasons. To make a comparison to one all-time great:
Based on WAR, his first two full seasons would slot in as the sixth and the fourth greatest seasons that Mickey Mantle ever had. And Mantle didn't have a season that equaled Trouts first full season, when Trout was 20, until his fourth full season at age 23.
Given what Trout's done so far, it seems very likely that, injuries aside, he's destined to be one of the all time greats.
