Fantasy Analysis
The Angels announced on Tuesday that Trumbo would be seeing everyday at bats moving forward, and that move should have been a no-brainer. Trumbo has been the Angels’ best hitter, posting team highs in almost every category. He is now hitting .370 on the season, with 16 hits over the eight-game hitting streak. Fantasy owners should continue to roll with Trumbo in the majority of mixed Fantasy formats, while he is seeing everyday at-bats. (Updated 05/17/2012).

05/16/2012 02:48 Angels hatch a plan: Fire hitting coach as ugly season turns uglier

Mark Trumbo became the opening day first baseman for the Angels last season after Kendrys Morales couldn't return from his broken ankle and the rookie ran with the role all season long. He batted .260 with 17 homers and 41 RBI during the first half and hit 12 more long balls in the second half to finish with 29 on the year. He also posted 87 RBI with a .477 slugging percentage and finished second in the AL Rookie of the Year voting. The Angels have raved about his power, but there is one small problem -- he might not have a position in 2012. The addition of Albert Pujols and the return of Morales could force him to the bench. Trumbo was expected to try his hand at third base in the offseason but a stress fracture in his right foot has not healed as quickly as first hoped, which is making him a question mark heading into the spring. Keep an eye on how things play out but owners should consider Trumbo as more of a late-round flier in mixed leagues on Draft Day as playing time is not guaranteed for the 25-year-old.
