1. Mike Trout - He's already the best player on the Angels, but I think most of us knew that going into the season.

First, they are clearly an offensively challenged team that continually fails to produce with runners in scoring position. Second, injuries are beginning to take a toll.
That's a bad combination for a team that has...
