Let’s assemble the best possible Angels team by letter of the alphabet to begin a player’s last name. Today is F. 51 men whose last name started with “F” played major league baseball in an Angels uniform.
C – Jorge Fabregas
1B – Cecil Fielder
2B – David Fletcher
3B – David Freese
SS – Jim Fregosi
OF – Dan Ford
OF – Chone Figgins
OF – Junior Felix
DH – Brad Fullmer
Three members of the 2002 squad make the cut although Fabregas was released before Figgy arrived. Fullmer might have been on the juice, hush. Jim Fregosi belongs on an Angels Mount Rushmore and the trade for David Freese doesn’t seem as terrible as it was when his 106 OPS+ is examined among Angels F bats alone.
SP – Chuck Finley
SP – Ken Forsch
SP – Dave Frost
RP – Art Fowler
RP – Brian Fuentes
Great starting staff here, historic even. The greatest Angels starting pitcher in terms of duration is Chuck “Fin to Win” Finley. The bullpen avoids adding Ernesto Frieri when you see original Angel Art Fowler’s 124 ERA+ out of the pen 1961-64.
