At the age of 22, Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout
already is one of the best players — if not the best player — in
all of baseball. The 2012 American League Rookie of the Year and
runner-up for MVP honors led the majors in wins above
replacement for the second straight year this season, as his
traditional stats — a .323 average with 27 home runs, 97 RBI, 33
stolen bases, and American League-leading totals of 110 walks
and 109 runs scored — weren't too shabby either. Thursday, he
spoke to Sporting News for a Q&A.  Sporting News: Are you

Rangers game. It's not like I've turned it on when it started,
but I've flipped to it.  SN: Who are you look
