Prospects

This game is set up with a bunch of different leagues with hundreds of "Prospects". We see lots of kids coming and going through the minor league systems and independent leagues being scouted to see if they may be the next top prospect.

Today we find the Next big thing of a Prospect to be Mike Trout in the Angels orginization. This kid is full of heart and can flat out get it. Here is his scouting report: Scouting report:
Trout has pretty much every tool in the box. It starts with his plus, plus speed, which allowed him to swipe 56 bases in his first full season and to play an outstanding center field. His pure hitting ability is a plus as well, wise beyond his years in terms of plate discipline and pitch recognition. While he hit just 10 homers, he did slug .490 for the year and should add more power as he matures. He has a solid, albeit unspectacular throwing arm, though he's always on the money. His makeup and work ethic are off the charts.

Trout was Drafted 25th over all in 2009 by the Angels and is expected to make Full Time in the Majors by 2012 season. The way he is working he just may make the ball club this Season. hitting .338 avg., 3hr's, 16 rbi's and 9 steals in 34 games in Triple A. Trout is making a great showing in just a couple of weeks in spring training. I see him making 25 man roster this Season and being the starting Center Fielder of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

That is my take on the number one Prospect what is yours?
