As far as Trout goes, it is definitely too early to give up on him IMO. He could come back next year and return to old form, or have a huge end of season. Having a good defensive CF is important. In my save, I've had a huge gap there for 2-3 years and trust me, it hurts. I'll put pretty good batters (.280 - 15 hrs) in center, but because they have bad outfield ratings they will have a negative WAR every year, and my team will come near the bottom of the league in defensive efficiency.

For Plummer, I would consider giving him reps at 1B, or if you have the DH spot open play him there. While it will hurt when hes making errors at first, he will eventually become a good enough fielder you can effectively "hide" him there. If he has a good infield error rating, he should be fine pretty quickly. If he has experience in left or right, that could work too, but having a poor defensive outfielder starting, even in the less important defensive positions, isn't fun.
