I think that it should be:
Midwest League happy Trout moves up
Michael Trout really wanted to win a batting title in the Midwest League in his first full season as a professional. He was hitting .362 in 81 games so that looked like a realistic goal. But he's not going to get that chance.
The highly touted Angels prospect, just a year removed from high school, got something even better - a promotion. He made his debut with the Quakes on Wednesday, connecting for a line-drive single in his first at-bat and finishing 1for4 in a road game against the Bakersfield Blaze. He batted leadoff and played center field in the Quakes' 3-1 victory.
"I really wanted to win that batting title but I got a promotion so it's all good," he said. "In some ways that is even better because I'm another step closer."
