Mark Trumbo Angels Walkup Music (in a perfect world)

Our series asking what the Walkup Music for our favorite Angel players continues... What should the Trumbomb hear walking from the on-deck circle? Perhaps a plea to all of us: Don't Let Me Be Misundertood by the Animals

Star-divide

He finished second in the 2011 AL rookie of the Year voting, but Angels slugger Mark Trumbo saw many an observer point out his strikeout totals and ignore that he led his team (and all MLB rookies) with a .223 ISO... desperately needed power infused into the Angels lineup, and laid up on a broken foot all winter he hears nothing but stupid trade proposals.

Trumbo is what he is, but at least what he is actually IS something, and to cast that off so quickly with the kid having just turned 26 is ignoring the slap-hitting single truth of the three run homer. You can replay that infamous August Walk-Off HR in your mind's eye and practically hear Trumbo plead with your depth-destorying trade proposal: "I'm just a soul who's intentions are good, oh lord please don't let me be misunderstood." In a perfect world, we would all understand that our hometown hero has a simple, good task to perform and it is not rocket science to understand him nor is it sabermetric heresy to celebrate it all.

And in 2012, when he starts a brave attempt to change positions in order to keep that bat in the lineup, let's not confuse expectations and demand Brooks Robinson at the hot corner. Understand that his intentions are in all of our best interest. He grew up an Angels fan, he is one of us.

Over/Under how many games Trumbo plays in 2012

130?

Under

Which is why I voted 20-28

Song is Good

But I’d prefer the Santa Esmerelda version. Has more verve.

mike scioscia

better not have all those crazy ass line up changes this year. Some consistency with that should help out alot

1812 Overture

with full cannons

Damn it, now this song is gonna be in my head all day.

Good walk up song, though. Sure beats that Thrice/Kid-Rock-era Social D he had last season.

hmmm

The gap band – you dropped a trumbomb on me.. haha, lame idea! I know.

Hopefully it's...

These boots are made for waling…

And he lives up to it, so we can all stop worrying about his OBP ;-).

gawd, I love that song, thanks Rev!
FAT BOYS FOREVER

this

50 HRs easy

I still would love to see him come out in Spring Training and RAKE

while playing permissible third base. If he plays regularly, he could hit 35 HR’s. If he doesn’t, I go with what I voted: 20-28

The first player to walk up to a Bee Gees or ABBA song will be my hero for life

And bonus points for walking up to an ironic “Macho Man” by the Village People.

I loved it when Naps lost a bet to a Ranger announcer and walked up to "I'm Too Sexy" and "I feel like a Woman"
I could see Naps using "I'm Too Sexy"...
Naps is definitely

I got hoes in different area codes.

Not to ruin this song for all of you but...
