The first six years of Gary Pettis' MLB career were with the California Angels, where he showed exactly what he was; a speedy and defensively skilled Outfielder who had zero pop in his bat.

Pettis debuted for the Angels in 1982, and two years later, he was their starter at Centerfield.  From 1984 to 1986, Pettis was perennially second in Stolen Bases, swiping 145 bases in that period.  He used that speed expertly with his glove, and he won two Gold Gloves, was the American League leader in Total Zone Runs in 1986 (22), and rarely made any errors.

Pettis was traded to Detroit after the 1987 Season, and although his offensive numbers were not impressive, his defense was, and he earns a place on this list.

Scot Shields played his entire Major League career with the Anaheim/Los Angeles Angels, a job that spanned 491 Games, an incredible number for a Pitcher drafted in the 38^th Round.

Shields made his first appearance in 2001, and he would find a role with the Majors in middle relief.  A member of the 2002 World Series Championship Team, Shields had five straight seasons where he made at least 60 Games (2004-08), with the three middle exceeding 70.  

Over his career, Shields accumulated 21 Saves and had 114 Games Finished.

Clyde Wright made his Major League debut with the California Angels in 1966, and his first four seasons saw him bounce back and forth from starting to relieving.  It was not until 1970 where Wright had a breakout year, specifically as a Starter.

Wright’s 1970 Season saw him put forth a phenomenal record of 22-13 with a 2.83 ERA.  He was an All-Star that year with a sixth-place finish in Cy Young voting.  Wright was unable to secure any more Cy Young votes, but the southpaw had two more years where he had a sub 3.00 ERA and at least 16 Wins.  After a troubling 1973 Season, he was traded to Milwaukee.

With the Angles, Wright had 87 Wins against 85 Losses. 

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.
