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.
