Angels recalled OF Mike Trout from Double-A Arkansas. As previously reported, Trout will make his major-league debut in center field on Friday evening, drawing the start in place of Peter Bourjos, who could be placed on the disabled list as early as this afternoon. Arguably the game's top prospect with only Washington's Bryce Harper pushing him for the title, Trout possesses a rare combination of power and speed, and should immediately be considered one of baseball's fastest players. His power, while quite real, may not immediately transfer to the American League West and its stable of pitcher-friendly parks, but that should not stop you from taking an immediate flier in all formats.
