Let’s assemble the best possible Angels team by letter of the alphabet to begin a player’s last name. Today is S. One hundred and Eleven men whose last name started with “S” played major league baseball in an Angels uniform. Who were the best here among those 111?
C – Don Slaught
1B – Scott Spiezio
2B – Luis Sojo
3B – Paul Schaal
SS – Dick Schofield
OF – Tim Salmon
OF – Leroy Stanton
OF – Willie Smith
DH – Tony Solaita
Out of 111 players, a large number for one letter, it was shockingly thin on bats here. Salmon, Stanton, Slaught and Spiezio are the biggest bats here but if you don’t love Dick Schofield well than you don’t know Dick.
SP – Joe Saunders
SP – Don Sutton
SP – Ervin Santana
RP – Scot Shields
RP – Joe Smith
Great Bullpen. With apologies to Luis Sanchez and Hall of Famer Lee Smith, these two here will shut down anyone every night and everyone on many nights. The starting three are league average but eat innings.
