The Real Angel in the Outfield

       The Milville Meteor has taken over the baseball world. Meet Mike Trout, the 21 year old likely Rookie of the Year and MVP for the American League. Mike Trout has it all, he can do it all, the quintessential 5 tool player. In an era clouded by PEDs and steroids, Mike Trout gives us all hope for a better baseball future. Mike Trout is the future.
      How 24 teams passed on this stud mystifies me but the Angels did not just get the steal of the 2009 draft, they got one of the steals of our generation. See Mike Trout isn't the kind of player that will win you a game or two extra per season, nor is he the kind of player that will show flashes of brilliance. No. Mike Trout is a franchise changing, incredibly consistent, hard working, humble, respectful, and constantly improving young man that embodies everything baseball stands for.

     Mike Trout's journey is far from over seeing how he is only 21 years old and hasn't even had the chance to play a full 162 game season yet. But when he does this upcoming season, the entire baseball world should hold on to their hats because this man will tear up the baseball world. Chimeras of a 50/50  season, 50 steals and 50 hrs, may not be so farfetched anymore. If anybody can do it, Mike Trout can.
     Not many people can say they've been the consensus Rookie of the Year and MVP before they've been legally allowed to drink a beer, but guess who can? Mike Trout. Stay thirsty my friends. Stay thirsty for the prolific career we will enjoy for the next decade and a half.
