Los Angeles Angels manager Joe Maddon will play star Mike Trout in center field and 'that's that'

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Spring training is moving unusually fast this year, and that is especially true at Angels camp.

The possibility of Mike Trout moving off center field and into a corner-outfield spot lasted less than 24 hours.

Los Angeles Angels manager Joe Maddon floated that as a possibility during his first media session on Sunday afternoon, explaining it as a better way to preserve Trout's body after he spent the last four and a half months last season recovering from a calf injury. But then Trout reported to camp on Monday morning and expressed a desire to remain at his natural position.
