Mike Trout went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in his 2012 MLB debut on Saturday against the Indians.
Trout filed out in the first, struck out swinging in the third, fouled out in the fifth and grounded out in his final at-bat in the seventh. It was a pretty underwhelming debut, but he should continue to play pretty regularly between left field and center. His at-bats will likely cut into the playing time of both Vernon Wells and Peter Bourjos. Expectations should be kept in check considering that he's still only 20 years old and batted just .220/.281/.390 over 135 plate appearances last year, but he's still worth grabbing in all formats on the chance that he's up for good this time.
