Angels 40-Man Roster Set at 38
As the rights to exclusive negotiations with their free agents closed, like every major league club, the Angels set their 40-Man Roster yesterday. It stands at 38. Here they are listed in order of the earliest that each can become a free agent. The final move was the addition of Peter Bourjos to the roster in order to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft in December.
The Angels who are 34 or older: Abreu, Matthews, Hunter, Shields and Fuentes
The Angels who are under 25: O'Sullivan, Bourjos, Trumbo, Bell, Ortega, Wood

Yeah other than Hunter....
and maybe the catchers….I can’t see the Angels wanting to dump any of those guys if they continue to maintain their current level of play.
Don't forget that if the options of Kazmir, Abreu, and Santana are exercised
Then those three would be added to that 2012 free agent class.
i really dont
see hunter being as productive until 2012.
me and the wonder dog got high!

Hopefully the Angels long-term Howie or Aybar (or both)after this season or even this offseason
. I want them playing up the middle for a long time.
Also if we pull trades or pull free agents, I wonder who would get cut if we get more than a couple new guys.
Happy Birthday to the ground!
Evans, Trumbo, Mosebach, Moseley, Budde, probably one of the Rods
There’s plenty of organization-filler and never-will-bes on this list.
This question is for someone smarter than I...
Which minor leaguers are eligible for the Rule 5 draft this year? Won’t they have to add those that they want to protect? That takes place in December, so I assume that those last two spots will be filled by minor-leaguers if they don’t sign anyone soon. So, any minor-leaguer with 4 or 5 years in MiLB (depending on signing age) would need to ascend to the 40-man or be exposed in that draft, and possibly being drafted by another organization. Of course, that organization has to keep them on the 25-man roster all season – but it has happened before. Johann Santana was a rule-five guy
Looking at that list – Budde, Brown and Evans would be the most likely to get the boot if a spot needs opening up, methinks.
Here is a link to a Wiki article on the Rule 5 draft…
RIP Nick...

They just added Bourjos to proect him
This list is locked until after the Rule 5 draft barring trades/signings…
