Touch 'Em All: Trout's swinging to make the bigs

Mike Trout played 40 games in the majors last summer, then spent the winter at home in Millville, N.J., working in a batting cage.

After the Angels' first full-squad workout on Monday, manager Mike Sciosca said he wouldn't rule out Trout's making the team out of spring training.

"You always got to think you can win a job," Trout told Yahoo Sports, "but it's still up in the air right now. If they put me in [triple-A] Salt Lake, wherever they want me . . . I'm still young. It'll make me believe I have to work harder."

Trevor Gooby, the Pittsburgh Pirates' director of Florida operations, delivered a baby when a fan went into labor Tuesday night at McKechnie Field in Bradenton.

The baby, a boy who was born five weeks early, will be named (you guessed it) McKechnie.

His dad calls him Mike. Friends call him Mikey. His mom calls him Cruz. Teammates call him Bigfoot. Most fans know the Miami slugger as Mike Stanton, but his first name is actually Giancarlo, the name he now says he prefers.
