Extra players for the Angels in the future?

Question

What would you guys do? Just curious to see everyone's opinion.

Q1.With Trumbo being such a force for the Halos, though his average isn't outstanding, what do you do with him when Kendrys Morales comes back next year?

Q2. Under contract next year in the OF: Vernon Wells, Torii Hunter, Peter Bourjos, Mike Trout. Who plays and where?

For me I have no idea for the first question because I want to see both of them play so much. If Trumbo could convert to be a third baseman for one or two years (can't remember how long Morales is under contract for) that would be great because I doubt the angels will re-sign Morales due to him being a Boras client.

And the OF for the angels do you send down Trout? I would once Bourjos is healthy. But next year I think it should be

LF- Wells
CF- Bourjos
RF- Trout
DH-Torii Hunter (even though he has a killer arm this year. 8 assists, 0 errors)


But this is all my opinion, what do you guys have to say?

Trumbo is your everyday first baseman..he's done enough to hold his position.

Morales will be out of contract...he may be given an invitation to spring training only...but I'm guessing his leg will not come around. He will be out of baseball...even if the Angels give him a shot, he's not displacing Trout. He would probably have to try to hook onto another club.

Trout stays in AAA at the start of next year..since every club carries 4-5 outfielders, when he comes up, Bourgos or Trout will be the 4th outfielder...Bourgos with his speed will be handy on the bench..or depending on how the Angels play it...DH Hunter or Wells.

Hunter is out of contract after 2012, which basically solves the problem.

Angels fan here.

Q1: Next year, I could see Trumbo taking over the starting spot at 1B, moving Kendrys Morales to DH.

Q2: With the copious great outfielders we have, I could see Peter Bourjos becoming Reggie Wilits 2.0 in that he'll be a permanent back for a long time. Of course, he'll pinch hit, pinch run, and start if one of the other starters get injured. It's such a shame wasting Bourjos' talents on the bench because he's so talented defensively. Oh, well.


Next year:

LF: Wells
CF: Trout
RF: Hunter (he'll be there a for year or two longer)
DH: Morales

When Hunter's contract is up (whenever that is), the Angels will not likely un-sign him, enabling Peter Bourjos to re-take his starting job.
