New Angel In The Outfield

After unloading their salary cap on First Basemen Albert Pujols (10 years, $240M) and Starting Pitcher C.J. Wilson (5 years, $77M), you would think the Angels would limit their spending this off-season. That hasn't been the case as they brought in All-Star outfield Josh Hamilton. Hamilton was on a tear during the first half of the season with a .308 AVG, .380 OBP, .635 SLG, 1.015 OPS, 27 Home Runs, and 75 RBI. Then he hit a cold front, batting .259 in the second half of the season. His second-half collapse lost his hopes in winning the A.L. MVP. He did post an impressive 43 homers, 128 RBI, and scored 103 runs to finish the season. Landing Josh Hamilton makes the Angels outfield a dream come true with young phenom Mike Trout and Mark Trumbo/Peter Bourjous. The addition of Josh Hamilton makes Tori Hunter a forgotten one in L.A. Even though Josh Hamilton has immense bat power, there are a few flaws that he needs to adjust.  His career statistics at Anahiem are horrific (.143 career average) and needs to be a primed-preformer, following an ugly second half.
