Solid additions. If he were to go into the Hall I don't think Tori Hunter would go in as an Angel but he was also in the Very Good tier.

I also have a soft spot for Don Baylor, who had a very interesting career to me. Would anybody have guessed/remembered that the big guy had 52 Stolen Bases the one season he played for the A's, just before he signed with the Angels. He was also part of the trade that sent Reggie Jackson to the Orioles for one season, before Free Agency kicked in for both of them. Of course he also won an MVP and had a magnet installed in his left bicep, that seemed to attract an alarming number of baseballs into committing suicide by Baylor, once it left a pitchers hands. I'll conveniently forget his atrocious defensive analytics, when he wasn't DH'ing. |

I remember when the trade was made, one of Baylor's teammates on the Red Sox predicted he'd get some big hits for the Twins. No kidding. |

Not surprising a teammate said that. Baylor hit a key HR in the 1986 ALCS on his way to hitting .346/.469/.577 in that series (sadly, the WS didn't go nearly as well for Baylor OR the Sox).
