Don't get me wrong, he can play center field. However I think that I'd rather have a good defender there then just average, and if you have a good corner infielder that can play center, you have more roster flexibility - corner outfielders are way easier to come by then CF, so if your first choice CF gets hurt, Trout moves to center and your 4th outfielder to left.
It depends on who is available in your organization, I'd say: if you aquire another outfielder, it should be a center fielder preferably, and let Trout play the next spring in left - even if he'll start the season in center, somewhere in his career will the point come when he has to move to left, so give him experience there.
