Plunkett: Angels offer arbitration to Oliver, Garland, Teixeira, Rodriguez … and not Anderson. So long, Garret.
That means he’s not eligible to sign with the Angels until May 1. It is, then, all but certain he will no longer be an Angel. A rules change in 2006 means the Angels could still sign him.
Some thought he was effortlessly great, others thought he lacked hustle. Some thought he was a Hall of Famer; others, merely a worthy All-Star during his peak. Regardless, he’s one of Angels’ greats.
Obviously.
So what will you remember him for? If your favorite performance isn’t an option, add it to the comments.
This is easy, his game winning double in game 7 of the world series.
Planet VORP does not recognize team efforts — as in the game-winning hit in Game 7 of the only World Series this team has ever played.
Planet VORP also does not recognize phrases such as “MVP of the 2003 All-Star Game” or “Winner of the 2003 Home Run Derby.”
But, hey, how ’bout that OPS in a four-game division series?
2008 highest average (in the entire MLB) when you put together these three stats- runners-on-base, runners-in-scorring-position and RISP with-two-outs…and the Angels let him go.
