All of this information is second hand. I can't vouch for the validity of it. But I found it terribly interesting. A friend of mine found himself on a golf course this afternoon with a current member of the Los Angeles Angels. Now I cannot disclose which player it is but he was someone who played last year. Apparently this player thinks that Mark Trumbo may be on the trading block. That Trumbo has had zero time to prepare for a position change, because he is still rehabilitating from a foot injury. And this player tends to think that with Albert at First and Alberto at Third that Trumbo just doesn't fit. And with such a successful Rookie Season there is reason to believe at Trumbo will be moved.
Of course, my friend who just so happens to be a Red Sox Fan (I know it doesn't seem fair), was kind of taken back by these admissions. I tried to tell my friend that the Angels are in a position of depth, that Trumbo has options (in a worse case scenario), that Trumbo could replace Wells in the not to distant future, that Morales is still an unproven commodity in 2012. But the player suggest moving from First to Third (see what I did there), isn't as easy as we all guess, especially while recovering from injury.
This does not sit well with me. I really like this unnamed player, but I hope he is wrong. Trumbo is cheap and under team control, what would be the benefit to trade him, unless it was a haul that just couldn't be passed up. DiPotto, don't do it.
