Bobby Knoop was your prototypical weak-hitting but defensively skilled infielder from the 1960s.  

Playing at Second Base, Knoop first made the Angels roster in 1964, and along with Shortstop, Jim Fregosi, would become one of the top double-play combinations in the American League.  Knoop won three straight Gold Gloves (1966-68) and led the AL Second Basemen in Total Zone Runs four times.

Knoop was not a heavy hitter, but he was an All-Star in 1966 when he led the AL in Triples (11) and had a career-high 17 Home Runs.  He left California early in 1969 when he was traded to the White Sox.

He returned in 1979 as a Coach, holding that role until 1996, and would have a second run in that capacity from 2013 to 2018.   Knoop was inducted into the franchise Hall of Fame in 2013.

One of the few Canadian Pitchers who had a long career in Major League Baseball, Kirk McCaskill, played the first seven of his 12 years with California.

McCaskill was a starter for the duration of his Angels run, where he twice posted seasons where he won at least 15 Games.  McCaskill made the top ten in ERA in three different years, peaking with a fifth-place finish in 1989 with 2.93.  

He left the Angels for the White Sox in 1992 and would have a 78-74 record in California.  

Fred Lynn was one of the most popular players in the 1970s and was in rarified air as a player who won the Rookie of the Year and MVP in the same season.  After seven years in Massachusetts, Lynn was traded to the California Angels, who thought he might be a player to help them reach the top.

Lynn had a poor start in California, as though he was voted into the All-Star Game, his numbers in the strike-shortened 1981 Season (5 HR, 31 RBI .219/.322/.316) were not good.  Lynn was voted to the following two All-Star Games, but he was a better player than in 1981.  He had at least 21 Home Runs in both of those years, batting at least .271, but his best moment was the 1982 ALCS, where despite the Angels losing, he won the ALCS MVP with a .611/.650/.889 Slash Line.

Lynn had another decent power year, hitting 23 Home Runs with a .271 Batting Average, and that was it for Lynn in California as he signed with the Orioles afterward.

With the Angels, Lynn had 71 Home Runs while batting .271.

A 2010 Draft Pick, Kole Calhoun first made the majors with the Los Angeles Angels in 2012, becoming a starter at baseball’s highest level in 2014 at Rightfield.  

In his first full season, Calhoun batted .272 with 17 Home Runs, and he followed that with back-to-back 161 Hit Years, which again had at least double-digit power numbers.  Winning a Gold Glove in 2015, Calhoun kept his power numbers respectable, though he never matched his .272 Batting Average in 2014.  In 2019, which would be his last year as an Angel (he signed with Arizona after), he smashed 33 Home Runs.

With the Angels, Calhoun had 884 Hits with 140 Home Runs.
