Torii Hunter played for the Minnesota Twins for a decade before signing with Los Angeles as a Free Agent in 2008. Hunter had a nice blend of speed and power, and though he was in his early 30s, he still had a lot left to offer his new team.
The Outfielder was an Angel for five seasons, belting at least 20 Home Runs in the first four seasons, and was an All-Star in 2009 and 2010. Hunter batted .286 for the Angels, contributing 768 Hits for the team, with 105 going deep. He was still a good player with the glove, winning two Gold Gloves while wearing the Halo. Hunter left the team for Detroit in 2012.
Standing at 6’ 7”, Mike Witt was an imposing sound on the mound throughout the 1980s, a decade spent with the California Angels.
Witt made it to the Majors in 1981, but he did not have his breakout until 1984 when he began a four-year streak winning 15 Games and fanning at least 180 batters. In 1984, Witt made history as the 11th player in history to throw a perfect game when he blanked Texas in the season finale. That performance elevated Witt to the staff ace, and he would represent the Angels in the 1986 and 1987 All-Star Game.
Witt declined in 1988 and would be traded to the New York Yankees in 1990. With the Angels, he had a nice record of 109-107 with 1,283 Strikeouts. The team inducted Witt into their Hall of Fame in 2015.
Erick Aybar is another name on the list of infielders from the Dominican Republic who had a long career in the Majors.
Signed in 2002, Aybar made it to the Los Angeles Angels four years later. Aybar was not a regular player until 2009, but his defensive versatility was on full display well before that. While Aybar only batted over .300 once (.312 in 2009), he overall batted a respectable .271 with 1,223 Hits as an Angel. Aybar was an All-Star in 2014, and he had seven consecutive years with at least double-digits in Stolen Bases.
Has his OBP been better than .315 or had a little more power, Aybar likely would have been five spots higher.
Troy Percival debuted in MLB with the California Angels in 1995, where he appeared in 62 Games in late relief, finishing 16 Games. Percival was fourth in Rookie of the Year voting, and it was a springboard to becoming the Angels’ closer in 1996.
Percival was the primary reliever for the Halos from '96 to 2004, going to four All-Star Games, and had at least 30 Saves in all of those years except for 1997. The Angels had put it all together in 2002, with Percival closing seven games in the playoffs.
With Francisco Rodriguez waiting in the wings, Percival left as a Free Agent for Detroit after the 2004 campaign. Percival recorded 316 of his 368 Saves with the Angels.
