Early ponderings on Angel additions:
1/ Earl Averill, Jr. 1962 season. The card that we have is always intriguing. Time for a card of a different but equally intriguing variety. http://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/30351/1660/1/60 Not much hitting, but loads of walks. Some might look at the 1961 season and that would be fine, but I'm a sucker for a good base on balls guy. Leftfield and catcher.
2/ Wally Joyner. 1987 season. The '86 card we have doesn't do him justice. The 1987 card has everything you'd want: doubles, homers, walks, positive clutch on 7 and that glorious defense. http://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/803200/1680/1/80 Time for Wally's World.
3/ Torii Hunter. 2009 or 2012 seasons. In 2009, he's a 1 in CF http://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/545/2009/1/2009 with a great skills set, but with that annoying injury. In 2012, http://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/545/2012/1/2012 he's a 1 in RF, the injury is reduced, better average but less overall power. The Angels have really been blessed with some great outfielders in the 2000s. We just got Anderson and Trout -- time for Torii.
4/ Alberto Callaspo. 2011 season. http://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/177/2011/1/2011 Not a game changer by any means (and is not going to compete with Glaus or the expensive Decinces but better than the rest), but he would be a more-than-serviceable 3b with some decent getting on base chops.
