Steve Finley, GMJ, and Josh Paul.

[ducks and runs]

GMJ perhaps? or Steve finley, hillenbrand, edgardo alfonso?

It was less than one season, but what about Lyman Bostock?

Jose Molina provided some quality service, man. I don’t know…I think he deserves mention on the list just by virtue of being one of the Flying Molina Brothers. :-D

Is it too soon for Torii? I’d think so, but this season was really really solid.

probably should at least take Shigetoshi Hasegawa’s place. And since it will be player’s only, that opens up a few more spaces. Joe Saunders might be knocking on the door, inasmuch as he has shown that he can beat the Red Sox.

He should be in the top 5 in CY voting this year, plus he’s had stretches of goodness in the past.

Yes, Wally should move up, he was fantastic as an Angel.

Is a half season of largely meaningless (albeit productive) baseball enough to get Teixeira on the list?

wait after he retires

we should throw brandon wood on there for being the most talked about minor league player in angels history and probably one of the best. Also, because eventually he’ll be on there so just put him now and just forget about it.

Ever since I joined this site, I have been bothered by that list. However I will keep my beefs precise and brief.

I dont agree with Glaus being in the top ten. The reasoning why is there seems to be mainly stats oriented. It makes a good case and the WS MVP helps. However, when I think of who should be in top ten Angels, I feel that we also need to consider how much of an “Angel” they are. Meaning, how much of their identity as a professional baseball player is connected or forever related to our organization. (For example: Langston and Finley will always = Angel…no matter what other teams they played for during their career before or after they donned the Halo uniform). Therefore, while I think Glaus should be up there, I can’t see him above such like Wally or Frankie

With this same thinking in mind, I pick Downing over Ryan for the second spot. Downing was a true Angel. Ryan is a true texan and decided to donn the Ranger hat in his induction to the hall of fame. A formidable division opponent? That is enough to knock him down a bit. Sure, Ryan is a better player…but who is more of an Angel?

After that I have my grips but overall its a good collection.

He only played one season for the Angels (their inaugural season) then retired, and he wasn’t all that great.
But he has some great quotes (On his career, and relative lack of success in the majors) “I’ve been a paid spectator at some pretty interesting events, and I’ve always had a good seat. I guess they figured there was no point in carrying a good thing too far.” , and…how can you dislike a guy with that name that looked like this?

I always thought Carew should be higher on the list. He was the epitome of the Angels for me when I was growing up.

  Way before my time, but I notice how recent heavy the list seems to be.

Should be #1. The Kingfish…a sentimental #1!

How about Ron Romanick, Luis Sanchez, and Rob Wilfong?!?

Salmon’s a sweet guy, but GA is the best player in this franchise’s history.

Bill Bavasi, Bill Rigney, Bill Stoneman, Arte Moreno, Gene Mauch, and Mike Scioscia? (And dropping Buck Rogers down the list after removing from consideration his contributions as manager?)
