Will the Angels ever retire another player's number?

[Taylor]

The thread about Jered Weaver possibly retiring at the end of the year got me thinking ... when will the Angels finally retire another player's number? Tim Salmon's No. 15 is a no-brainer, but what about Garret Anderson's No. 16? Troy Percival's No. 40? 

It surprises me that they still haven't retired Salmon's number.

[Amazing Larry]

There's this dude named Mike Trout.

[Taylor]

Trout's number should be retired the day he retires.

[zenmaster]

We should just retire Trout's number now. He can pick a new one.

If Vlad gets into the HOF does he get his number retired?  If Trout gets into the HOF do we hang two 27's up?  I always thought it was weird that when Vlad left someone else got his number pretty quickly yet nobody wears #15 anymore

Honestly I see Vlad going into the HoF wearing an Expos cap, The Yankees have retired the same number twice ( #8 - Dickey, Berra and #42 Rivera, and Jackie Robinson) so I wouldn't be opposed to #27 eventually being retired twice. I'm honestly still waiting for them to retire #15, but the origination says that retiring numbers are more aligned to being inducted into the HoF, than just franchise achievements.

They retired Rod Carew  ... how do you not retire Salmon and Anderson.

The Yankees have 2 numbers retired twice.  Of Vlad goes in the HOF as an Angel #27 will be retired twice.

Did they retire #2 for Jeter yet?

We can just start a tradition of giving our best players the #27.

MLB is thinking about making the No. 2 retired across the board.

How can we retire Trout's number when he's going to win titles and more MVPs with the Yankees

What about Don Baylor's No. 25?  His had a monster season in 1979, was the club's first MVP award winner and led the Angels their first  AL West title.

34 looks to have been unofficially "retired", although that may only be temporary. Nobody has worn it since Adenhart.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

[kevinb]

Will 5 be retired as Mathis or Pujols tho? 

[Billy_Ball]

Yeah, surprised about #40.  Percy is the franchise's All Time saves leader (and it looks like his record will stand for a long time.)  Yet it's been issued to Bartolo Colon, Brian Fuentes, Kevin Jepsen and *gulp* Javy Guerra since Percy left.

[Ohtaniland]

I think they would be willing to retire #5 if he agreed to leave immediately. They could package up his locker, home run sign and ship it to his Missouri home this afternoon.  

[Stradling]

You still have a hard on for the home run sign, one that he had nothing to do with.  That is your boy Arte that put that thing together, trying to capitalize on his big investment.

Albert is the Bernie Madoff of baseball.

Baylor was a free agent and didn't stay that long on the Angels.
