Chili Davis signed with California after seven years in San Francisco, and his first foray into the American League showed similar power numbers to what he had shown before.
Beginning his Angels career in 1988, Davis had at least 20 Home Runs and 90 RBIs in his first two seasons, progressively moving from the Outfield to Designated Hitter as his skills with the glove eroded. He joined the Twins as a Free Agent in 1991, winning a World Series there, and he returned the Angels in 1993, this time primarily as a DH. Davis was an All-Star in 1994, and in all four of his Angels years in his second run, he belted at least 20 Home Runs and 80 RBIs in all of them. Overall, as an Angel, Davis smacked 156 Home Runs, 618 RBIs with a .279 Batting Average. Davis later won two more World Series Rings with the Yankees.
Despite Davis’ strong offense, his abysmal defense when he was an Angel, and lack there of when he was a Designated Hitter, prevents him from a much higher rank.
