Let’s assemble the best possible Angels team by letter of the alphabet to begin a player’s last name. Today is E. 25 men whose last name started with “E” played major league baseball in an Angels uniform.
C – Andy Etchebarren
1B – Mike Epstein
2B – Damion Easley
3B – Yunel Escobar
SS – David Eckstein
OF – Jim Edmonds
OF – Darin Erstad
OF – Jim Eppard
DH – Tom Egan
Thought there might not be a complete roster here, but there was… barely. Darin Erstad is the bridge between Edmonds and Eckstein for a certain generation of Angels fans. Yunel Escobar was the only batter besides Edmonds with an OPS+ over 100. The DH here is the backup catcher who was not as good a bat as Etchebarren and that is not saying much.
SP – Kelvim Escobar
SP – Seth Etherton
SP – Steve Eddy
RP – Mark Eichhorn
RP – Sammy Ellis
Jered Weaver was asked once on Twitter who was the teammate with the most natural talent and ability ever and he answered Kelvim Escobar. A truly underrated Angel. Mark Eichhorn had an ERA+ of 146 as a middle reliever here. The others, wow, picking from a group of only 25 players gives a manager few options.
