Why did Mike Trout sign with the Angels if he didn't grow up an Angels fan? What's in it for him?

because if he didn't sign with the Angels he would have cost him another year waiting on the draft.

Not only that but going back into the draft does not guarantee you your preferred club is drafting you.

The following year the Nationals chose Bryce Harper as the #1 pick in the draft. Makes you wonder if Trout was available but already in college if they would have changed their pick.

Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't D1 college athletes have to wait until after their jr year to be drafted again?

Harper got his GED early and spent 2 years at college of southern Nevada

Mike Trout could've become an East Carolina University legend, joining the likes of Chad Tracy and Chris Heston

I am fans of teams from other states. My hockey and football teams aren't from where I grew up or lived.  I just find it odd that someone that doesn't like the Angels is now writing about them. You don't get the homer aspect of it though so that's good at least. I just assumed that someone writing about the Angels was a fan of them. I learned something new. I am not a fan of the A's so devoting work time to learn all about them and everyone's names and have to follow them all the time would be hell on earth. Just my opinion though.

Who said Jeff Fletcher doesn't like the Angels?

NCAA players can be drafted if they've completed their junior year or are 21 years old.

Harper only played 2 years of high school ball and 1 of juco.
