Let’s assemble the best possible Angels team by letter of the alphabet to begin a player’s last name. Today is L. 56 men whose last name started with “L” played major league baseball in an Angels uniform.
C – Jim Leyritz
1B – Jonathan Lucroy
2B – Tommy LaStella
3B – Carney Lansford
SS – Torey Lovullo
OF – Fred Lynn
OF – Joe Lahoud
OF – Rufino Linares
DH – Ken Landreaux
Some big bats here and a few gloves but thin after the marquee greats Lansford and Lynn. Landreaux did wonders in Minnesota after Autry traded him for Rod Carew, but only had a 79 OPS+ early in hi carer here … and it was still enough to make this squad!
SP – John Lackey
SP – Mark Langston
SP – Don Lee
RP – Bob Lee
RP – Al Levine
Two all time greats, Lackey and Langston, each with over 1,400 innings pitched wearing a Halo, and a damn good bullpen.
