There isn’t a lot of excitement surrounding former Angels players this year, as no former Angels players are expected to make it in. There are five former Angels on the ballot, including Torii Hunter, Bobby Abreu, Dan Haren, LaTroy Hawkins and Shane Victorino.

With the exception of Abreu, the other four players are making their first appearance on the ballot.

Torii Hunter

Hunter was the longest tenured Angel on this list, as he spent 713 career games in a Halos uniform. He played outfield for LA from 2008-2012. During his tenure, he hit 105 homers while driving in 432 runs. He also had 768 hits and scored 396 runs. In addition to his great bat, Hunter also won two Gold Glove Awards.

Dan Haren

Haren spent his 13 career seasons playing for eight teams, and the Angels are tied with Oakland and Arizona for being his longest tenured team. He was with the club from 2010-2012. In 2011, Haren actually finished seventh in Cy Young voting.
