Rather than replace record-setting closer Francisco Rodriguez with one of their setup men, the Angels opted to sign Fuentes as a free agent. The move allows Shields and Arredondo to stay in their roles (though Arredondo has the look of a future closer) and deepens the Angels' bullpen.

1. 3B Chone Figgins

2. SS Erick Aybar/Maicer Izturis

3. RF Vladimir Guerrero

4. CF Torii Hunter

5. 1B Kendry Morales

6. DH Juan Rivera

7. 2B Howie Kendrick

8. C Mike Napoli

9. LF Gary Matthews Jr.

The Angels finished 10th in the American League in runs scored last season and finished with the lowest run differential (plus-68) for any 100-win team in history. With Teixeira and Anderson gone, they will be relying on the further development of young players Kendrick, Aybar and Napoli and the emergence of Morales and, possibly, 3B Brandon Wood. Wood will get a chance in the spring to win the third base job, pushing Figgins into the left field mix or into a roving utility role. After the worst two-month start in his career last year, the Angels are looking for Guerrero to rebound with a healthier knee and the motivation of playing in the final year of his contract.
