Not as easy as it looks is it? Stephen Strasburg, Dustin Ackley (CF), Donovan Tate (CF), Tony Sanchez, Matt Hobgood, Zack Wheeler, Mike Minor, Mike Leake, Jacob Turner, Drew Storen, Tyler Matzek, Aaron Crow, Grant Green, Matt Purke, Alex White, Bobby Borchering, A.J. Pollock (CF), Chad James, Shelby Miller, Chad Jenkins, Jiovanni Mier, Kyle Gibson, Jared Mitchell (CF), and Randall Grichuk (has played some CF in MLB, not well, but has played it) all say "Hi!". All of them were taken ahead of Mike Trout in 2009. Some have worked out better than others, but none of them worked out as well as Mr. Trout, who was not only the 25th player taken overall that year, but the
6th centre fielder.
