2002 Angels

GA played the ball off the corner as well as anyone I've ever seen

This place loved to shit on Garrett, sad really. I must have been an idiot because I never knew he sucked until signing up for AW.

 

That's on you for not realizing you were an idiot long before joining AW

Another thing i liked about GA was that pre getting arthritus, he was about a lock to play 158 games a year. Always stayed healthy. He was never a big home run guy like others of that era, but he was a doubles machine

When a runner was in scoring position with less than 2 outs you knew GA was bringing him in. Whether it was a single, ground ball or sac fly, that run was coming in.

He also played great defense in left. I remember be would play the ball off the wall, turn and throw the ball perfectly to second. Runners quit trying to go for 2 on him.

I always liked his spin throw back in, because of him being left handed.

Remember how salmon, GA at his peak, abd glaus hitting 5th wasnt even one of the scarrier lineups at that time? Funny to think about.

Funnier too that glaus, pre 2002, was one of the more underrated sluggers in the game. Pre moneyball so he got onocked for his low BA.

That little spin throw of his was a thing of beauty too..   He was an underrated defensively as he was at times overrated offensively.
