Overview
Mark Trumbo was picked by the Angels in the 18th round of the 2004 MLB Draft (533rd overall). After spending several years in the minors, he made his MLB debut on September 11, 2010. During his first full season with Los Angeles in 2011, Trumbo hit 29 home runs and notched 87 RBIs. However, his batting average was just .254. Trumbo finished second in American League Rookie of the Year voting. Although Mark Trumbo cards did well during his rookie campaign, collectors started to really take notice the following year.
In 2012, Trumbo continued to flex his power, knocking 22 homers before the All-Star Game. Alongside emerging superstar Mike Trout and the newly acquired Albert Pujols, Trumbo was supposed to be part of something big in Anaheim. After the Angels struggled in 2013, Trumbo was traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
As far as the status of Mark Trumbo cards go, this trade will likely hurt his overall appeal. The Diamondbacks don't have the same notoriety as the Angels so he likely won't get as much attention. That said, a fresh start playing alongside Paul Goldschmidt could make for a potent combination.
