Yeah, huge Angel fan here, and Mike Trout is very exciting. Too bad Tim Salmon isn't still playing....!

I believe the Angel's have a future dilemma/opportunity regarding Trout and current rookie CF Peter Bourjos. Bourjos definitely lacks Trout's hit/power potential, but Bourjos has serious, serious speed, covers unbelievable ground in CF, runs great routes to the ball, plays premium defense and is now batting .272 on the year to boot. What if Bourjos blossoms by next season into a legitimate lead-off hitter? Do you eventually move Trout or Bourjos to a corner OF spot to accommodate both, or do you package Bourjos in a trade? I really like Bourjos, and I'm sure every Angel's pitcher loves him roaming CF as well.
