Angels Avenge Their Shut Out With a Guy Named Mike (18/81)

Mike Trout had a home run, scored three runs, and stole a base (pictured below) as the Angels avenged their shut out loss from last night against the Oakland Athletics 4-0.

Looks like Angels have found their lead-off hitter, and Trout can do it all. The 20-year-old rookie showed again today why his name has always been included in the top 3 prospects since he entered the minors. With blazing speed and 30+ home run potential, he's the kind of guy that can make things happen all on his own. And that's exactly what you need from a lead-off hitter: a guy who can make things happen.

Could Trout eventually make it to the level of Dodger's sensational slugger, Matt Kemp, who is on a personal quest to reach the unprecedented 50/50 plateau (50 home runs and 50 stolen bases)? Only time will tell, but for now Trout is living up to the hype.

I'm trying to shorten my blogs and go with one theme now. What do you guys think? Leave a COMMENT in the comments section below.
