HBT: Trout having an insane rookie season

So much has been said about Bryce Harper, but Mike Trout is having just as insane a rookie season.

Last night Trout either drove in or scored all of the Angels? runs. The last one was set up by him drawing a walk and then stealing second base. Throw in the earlier homer (and an earlier stolen base) and you?re aware of just how complete a package this kid is.

Trout leads the AL in stolen bases besides being in the minors for almost the entire month of April. Since he?s been called up he?s been an on-base machine. And the Angels have gone 27-15 and find themselves a mere 2.5 games out of first place.

There are reasons why we are hearing more about Harper than Trout. Harper was on the cover of SI when he was 16 and was the number one overall pick. Most of his games are played and end when most of the sporting press is awake. ?But let?s not forget about this kid out west. Because he?s been absolutely astounding.
