Some things in life we take for granted, like air-bags. Or 4G internet wherever we go. As Halo fans, we do a pretty good job of appreciating Mike Trout, and he delivered yet again on Monday.

Buoyed by a 3-hit effort from Trout, the Angels' offense led the way against Kansas City, with contributions from Justin Upton, Albert Pujols, and Jefry Marte as the team combined for 14 hits. The complete team effort helped save a lackluster performance from Nick Tropeano, and is the type of effort that we expected from the team after all of the big offseason moves. Now the Halos, winners of 3 of their last 4, seem to be gaining some semblance of momentum in their quest to chase down Seattle and Houston.

Monday was also draft day in baseball, and the Down on the Farm Report focuses on the Angels' first two draft picks. Both high-upside, athletic selections who figure to need plenty of seasoning before reaching Angel Stadium. Tune in to the latest episode!
