OK so how do the Angels set up their lineup for 2012?
1B Morales(arb) or Trumbo(not arb yet)
OF Wells($21M), Hunter($18M), Bourgeos(not arb yet), Trout(not arb yet)....only room for 3
DH Abreu($9M) or whoever loses 1B or OF
I heard they want to see if Trumbo can play 3B, which if he can helps greatly. However if he cannot that's 7 players for 5 positions. You can safely rotate 6 through the lineup without drastically hurting playing time...not 7
Options:
Trade a young player for an equal value player at another position.
Trade one of the albatross contracts in a bad contract for bad contract swap.
Eat a large chunk of salary.
Start the year with someone (Bourgos, Trout, Trumbo) back in AAA.
Any other thoughts?
