Doug DeCinces had giant shoes to fill as he was the Orioles Third Baseman after Brooks Robinson.  He played well, but he was never going to be the Hall of Famer, and altercations with his star Pitcher, Jim Palmer, led to a trade to California in 1982.

DeCinces’s career took an upward turn with the Angels, as he belted a career-high 30 Home Runs in '82 and had his only .300 season.  He was an All-Star the following season, and from 1984 to 1986, he smacked at least 20 across the fences.  

His play slipped in 1987, and he was released, but he left the Angels with 130 Home Runs and a .463 Slugging Percentage.

Andrelton Simmons was a top defensive infielder when he was with the Atlanta Braves, and he brought that skill to Los Angeles when he was traded to the Angels after the 2015 Season.

Simmons had a good 2016 but rattled off three straight Gold Gloves (2016-18) and two Wilson Defensive Player Awards (2017 & 2018).  2017 was especially impressive, as Simmons led the American League in Defensive bWAR with 5.1.  He had a career-high 164 Hits that year and was eighth in MVP voting.  Simmons left L.A. for Minnesota as a Free Agent before the 2021 Season.

Simmons had 592 Hits and a Defensive bWAR of 12.1 as an Angel.

A Seventh Round Pick in 1988, Jim Edmonds ascended to the Majors five years later, but it was not until 1995, where he showed what he could do at baseball's highest level.  Playing most of his career at Centerfield, Edmonds '95 campaign was his first All-Star year, blasting 33 Home Runs with 107 RBIs while batting .290.

Edmonds continued to have good power numbers for the Angels, smacking at least 20 Home Runs with a .290 Batting Average over the next three seasons, and his defensive skills earned him Gold Gloves in 1997 and 1998.  Edmonds only played 55 Games in 1999 due to injury, and the Angels traded him to St. Louis, where he had the best run of his career.  He would later win a World Series Ring with the Cards in 2006.

With the Angels, Edmonds had 121 Home Runs, 768 Hits with a .290/.359/.498 Slash Line.

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.
