Extension suggestion: Mark Trumbo
As the baseball world patiently waits for the Angels and Mike Trout to do the right thing and agree to a lengthy and borderline ridiculous contract extension, there are other concerns that need to be addressed. In this new baseball landscape, just about every single All-Star-ish caliber player signs a contract extension that buys out at least one year of free agency.

Mark Trumbo Knows, Improves Himself
“I’m not a tremendously gifted athlete,” Mark Trumbo said. “I have to work at it, and be smart out there.” That might be surprising given how country strong the six-foot-four, 225-pound outfielder looks, but if you consider his game at as a whole, it’s obvious that there are aspects that could use refinement. Statistics have helped shape some of his baseball values as...
Mark Trumbo's monstrous homer, and the joke of "estimated" measurements
Measuring home runs has proven over time to be an inexact science. You would think with the modern marvels of pitch and hit tracking, that we'd have a greater knowledge of home run distance, or even technology in place in every stadium/telecast that could enhance fans' viewing experience. This clearly isn't the case in Oakland. On Monday evening, Mark Trumbo hit a bomb...
Mark Trumbo Launches a 475-foot Home Run
The Angels’ Mark Trumbo launched one of the longer home runs we have seen in some time on Monday night against the A’s. Had to just watch in awe as the ball traveled an estimated 475 feet which is no easy feat. The 27-year-old stud has got some power. If accurate on the measurement, only Anthony Rizzo of the Cubbies has a long ball of that length this year.

Trumbo crushes 475-foot home run
The Angels' Mark Trumbo has tremendous power, and the 27-year-old put that talent on display in Oakland on Monday night in an AL West divisional battle against the A's. Watch Trumbo absolutely destroy an offering from Oakland's Dan Sally to give the Angels a 2-0 lead in the top of the second: Your browser does not support iframes. CRUSHED. The bomb was estimated...
Mark Trumbo Player Profile & Projections
By Robert Cunningham, AngelsWin.com Staff Writer --
2013 Outlook: Mark Trumbo had a true Jekyll and Hyde season in 2012. The first half he was on fire (.306 BA/.358 OBP/.608 SLG w/a .327 BABIP) and was going toe-to-toe with some of the best players in the game and then, almost inexplicably, he fell off a cliff (.227 BA/.271 OBP/.359 SLG w/a .302 BABIP) after the All-Star Break...
Trumbo gives Angels the edge at DH in West
The American League West is loaded with designated hitters with solid resumes.
Mark Trumbo was an All-Star last year. Lance Berkman was a most valuable player candidate two seasons ago and Kendrys Morales was on his way to a big career before an ankle injury.

Here's a look at the DH rankings in the West.
