H/W: 6-4 220 lb. B/T: R/R DOB: 1/16/86
Trumbo bounced back well this year after being written off by many as being a mediocre prospect. Trumbo batted .281 with 32 HR 93 RBI and 35 doubles between High-A Rancho Cucamonga and AA Arkansas. Trumbo's HR tally nearly equalled his combined total from the past three seasons. Trumbo has good loft on his swing that can launch balls out of all parts of the ballpark and his approach at the plate has improved over past seasons. Trumbo has a thick 6-4 220 lb. build that still could add bulk as he ages. This does not bode well for his athleticism as he is already viewed as below average in quickness and range. The Angels sent Trumbo to the Arizona Fall League where he hit for a high average (.295), though his 5 BB/31 K's and one HR was less than expected.
2009 Projection: Expect Trumbo to repeat at AA Arkansas to start the season. It will be critical for Trumbo to repeat his promising performance from '08 to prove that it was not a California League aberration. If things go well, a promotion to AAA Salt Lake City is a possibility. Trumbo's long range future as an Angel is largely dependent on L.A.'s ability to re-sign Mark Texiera. If they do, expect Trumbo to become a potential DH or future trade chip. Trumbo's athleticism is limited, which makes his development as a power hitter crucial. If things go well at AA, Trumbo's 2004 Donruss Elite Extra and SP Prospects autographs will get more hobby attention
