Back in July, Torii Hunter mentioned that he wanted to return to the Angels next season or join the Yankees, Rangers or Dodgers. The Dodgers are no longer an option with an outfield of Matt Kemp Andre Ethier and Carl Crawford, but the Yankees and Rangers could potentially be options. But Hunter is not shy about telling people where he wants to be next season as he told Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com that he would like to finish his career with the Angels. “I want to stay, everybody knows that.” But the bringing Hunter back isn't so simple. The Angels already have Mike Trout in center field, Vernon Wells  and a ton of money in left and speedy Peter Bourjos and Mark Trumbo potentially fighting for the final spot. In 537 plate appearances, Hunter is sporting a .305/.358/.446 batting line with 15 home runs. “For me, it's not about greed and getting all you can get,” Hunter said. “I've made good money.

Angels, Santana are looking to finish strong

Via Fox Sports West  |  September 22, 2012
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- For all anybody knows, Ervin Santana might be nearing the end of his Angels tenure. There could be one more start on his schedule, maybe two. If his career in an Angels uniform is indeed about to end, he can be soothed by the fact he's going out with his best stuff. In a season of inconsistency and unmet expectations, Santana is finishing with a flourish...

Angels win to stay in wild-card hunt

Via AP on Fox  |  September 23, 2012
The way things are going for the Los Angeles Angels, it's difficult for Jered Weaver to focus on the fact that he is one victory away from his first 20-win season in the majors. Then again, the only reason the Angels still have a shot at a postseason berth is because their ace keeps winning. Weaver kept them within striking distance in the AL wild-card chase, posting his league...

For the Angels, it's about winning and waiting

Via Fox Sports West  |  September 23, 2012
ANAHEIM, Calif. After coming so far and playing so well down the stretch, it's almost a shame that the Angels' fate is not in their own hands. They've become scoreboard watchers, attentive not only to their games but also to the daily fortunes of the Oakland A's and Baltimore Orioles. A win isn't a win unless the A's or Orioles lose, too. But that's...

By David Saltzer, AngelsWin.com Senior Writer ANAHEIM, CA -- Everyone has a preferred learning style.

This is a weird time of the season. Over the course of today I was routing for the Red Sox, Yankees and Mariners. This is the kind of thing that makes a Halo fan break out in hives. But in order for the Angels to make the playoffs, we all have to get a little dirty with our set of bedfellows. But non of it matters if the Angels don't take care of their own business. Tonight...
