When you're pushing 50 years old, there's a lot that's forgotten.

Depends what you mean by forgotten. Whereas I miss Vlad (still more fun to me than trout), hes not exactly forgotten. Even guys id like to list like Percy, or Figgins are hard for me to list, because i feel they were big enough that no one has really forgotten them.

(And Chuck, kudos for mentioning devon white. Loved that guy).

Someone mentioned Cabrera above. Great pick. Very solid, entertaining player/personality, and probably overshadowed by guys like simmons and aybar.

Aybar would be another one..only gone a few years, but seems like a million.

Bengie and Jose Molina come to mind. Grittyveterans made a good one with Maicer. Underrated super utility guy.

Theres a ton. And its sad how solid we were at almost every position vs where we have been recently.

Thats kind of my take. But in terms of chucks post, id say chilli davis is somewhat. Maybe not diehard fans, but the casual masses i think probably have forgotten him.

Sappy answer. And not a player. But Rory Markus.

Ive mentioned before that because of my job, i listen to far more games than I watch. I like Langston a lot. He and Terry Smith have a good chemistry.

But Rory and Terry were great. And I was listening to them pre 2002, when I imagine not too many were. 

Rory had some gems in the 02 postseason. When they clinched against Minn, he said something like "gene autry just put his arm around donnie moores shoulders, and said cmon son, were going to the world series"

Dane De La Rosa, the pigeon rescuer

Frieri/Fuentes... Can't remember how hard I'd laugh everytime Sosh trotted them out to deliver bombs like clockwork. 

Grill Cheese Grilli. Old timer was lights out for '14 season.

Brandon Wood and the endless discussions about when he'd break out

 

[Stradling]

Hamiltown

[southpaw]

Jack Lazorko. - best fielding pitcher ever

[notherhalo]

Kevin Frandsen and Reggie Wilits belong in the best Angels position players who never hit a home run category

[TroutBaseball]

Not my first choice but someone still feels strongly

[gurn67]

I'm already missing Mike Trout.

[notherhalo]

Hey if it wasn't for GMJr, we wouldnt have the run that got Saunders that epic win over a 6-0, 0.50 ERA Zack Greinke 

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Vladdy 

Joe Saunders. Weird, I know. I just really liked him. Dude was a gamer. Not the most talented but didn’t care. 

Weaver. 

Shields.

That was an epic game. Thanks for the memory.

[Angelsjunky]

Steve Finley

Shea Hillenbrand

Gary Mathews Jr

Josh Hamilton

JEFF MATHIS

[Puget Sound Angel]

Dave Chalk, American League All-Star.

[Stradling]

Kirk McCaskill

[ScottT]

Rex Hudler.  That dude pumped me up.

He had a couple good years...  his best... at age 33 and 35.  

[maestro]

How are Vladdy and Salmon forgotten haha

Kendrys morales was such a beast before breaking his leg on a walk off grand slam 

Kelvim Escobar was nasty when he was healthy-great splitter. I seem to recall one season (perhaps 2006)where he had the worst run support of any starter in the league and lost more games than he won, despite having a mid 3’s era and solid numbers across the board

1) Chuck plays by his own rules.

2) This is Chuck's website.

3) We tolerate Chuck playing by his own rules.

I forgot about him. I really liked him. He didn't have the best stuff but he was a smart pitcher.
