After 33 Games with St. Louis, Adam Kennedy was traded to the Anaheim Angels, sending Jim Edmonds the opposite direction. Kennedy would become the Angels' starting Second Baseman the year after (2000) and would be so until 2006.
Kennedy was not a great hitter but was excellent with the glove. From 2001 to 2005, he had at least 1.0 in Defensive bWAR, peaking with 2.0 in 2005. With the bat, he did enough, batting at least .266 each year as an Angel and batted .312 in their 2002 World Series Championship year. He was especially good in the ALCS, blasting three Home Runs with a 1.357 OPS.
Kennedy left the Angels to return to St. Louis in 2006 as a Free Agent, and with Anaheim/Los Angeles with 935 Hits, 123 Stolen Bases, and a .280 Batting Average.
