Quick Hits: Trout, Indians, Giambi, Mets

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | October 16, 2012 at 4:47pm CDT

Mike Trout's outstanding rookie season earned him Baseball America's Rookie of the Year award, but that's not all he won. The publication named Trout the 2012 Player of the Year ahead of Buster Posey, Miguel Cabrera and others. Check out Jerry Crasnick's piece for a more complete look at Trout and continue reading for more of today’s links…

  • The Angels have promoted Gary DiSarcina, and the former MLB shortstop will now report to GM Jerry Dipoto as a special assistant, Mike DiGiovanna of the LA Times reports. The Angels added a second special assistant to Dipoto, hiring Rays national cross-checker Tim Huff.
  • Sandy Alomar Jr. will have a spot as an Indians coach when Terry Francona's staff is officially announced, MLB.com's Jordan Bastian reports.
  • The Rockies seem to be taking Jason Giambi seriously as a managerial candidate and while some executives chuckle at the possibility, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com asks 'why not?'
  • The Mets expect catcher Josh Thole to be eligible for arbitration this coming offseason, Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com reports. MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz projects a $1.2MM salary for the backstop.

    Anyone remember who the Yankees signed to give the Angels the Trout pick?

      Never mind – Mike Trout (Angels-1) – Pick from Yankees as compensation for Free Agent Mark Teixeira

        The Angels had picks 24 (Randy Grichuk) and 25 (Trout) that year, and they’ve claimed they would have taken Trout had they had only 1 of those. FWIW.

      I gotta agree here as well bring Shoppach back and get another young catcher via trade because Thole just isn’t going to cut it he’s had his shot the past 2 years and didn’t get it done….
