Mike Trout, OF, Los Angeles Angels
The situation: The slumping Angels could simply wait no longer. Despite all the roster difficulties created by the Albert Pujols signing, the team finally solved them by flat-out releasing what's left of Bobby Abreu and giving Trout the call after the 20-year-old hit a whopping .403/.467/.623 (BA/OBP/SLG) in 20 games for Triple-A Salt Lake.
