Los Angeles Angels tickets are on sale to see if the winter additions are enough to turn the tide in the AL West. Are Albert Pujols, C.J. Wilson, and Chris Iannetta enough to overtake the Texas Rangers? Are having one of the most dangerous batting orders and one of the best starting rotations enough? TheSeats has the L.A.

Yes, Vernon Wells, Peter Boujos, and Torii Hunter man the outfield; Pujols, Howard Kendrick, Erick Aybar, and perhaps Mark Trumbo in the infield; and Bobby Abreu, Kendrys Morales, or Trumbo at DH. Hunter, Trumbo, Wells, and Pujols are the power hitters. Aybar, Bourjos, Kendrick, and Abreu are the speed on the base paths. Pujols, Kendrick, and Callaspo are ready to hit better than .300.

The starting rotation of Jered Weaver, Dan Haren, C.J. Wilson, and Ervin Santana is among the best first four in baseball. Jerome Williams will be fighting with Garrett Richards for the fifth spot. Weaver and Haren are ace quality starters. Wilson has proven he is not only capable of starting, but is actually a very good option. Santana simply needs run support to excel.

Los Angeles’s bullpen is the only concern in SoCal. They posted a great ERA last season, but ended up blowing 25 games. This season the team really needs Jordan Walden to shore the position with his 100-MPH fastball.

Los Angeles Angels History

The Los Angeles Angels began playing baseball in 1961. For the first four seasons, the Angels actually played in the city. In 1965, the Angels became the California Angels, moving to Anaheim. It would take until 1970 before the Angels began to show signs of life. Nolan Ryan and Frank Tanana became fearsome 1-2 combo in the starting rotation.

The Angels would finally reach the MLB playoffs in 1979. This baseball team had a powerful offense. Don Baylor hit DH and won the AL MVP after leading the league with 139 RBI and 120 runs. Catcher Brian Downing, shortstop Bert Campaneris, first baseman Rod Carew, right fielder Dan Ford, and second baseman Bobby Grich. Downing led the league with a .326 batting average and Baylor led the team with 36 home runs. Grich came in second with 30. Despite this loaded offense, the Angels lost 3 game to 1 in the ALCS to the Baltimore Orioles.

The Angels would go to the postseason in 1982 and 1986 as well. It would take some time, but the Anaheim Angels to return to the postseason. The ball club won the 2002 World Series with Mike Scoscia as the manager of the years. The Angels went 99-63 with an offense led by first baseman Troy Glaus, right fielder Tim Salmon, and left fielder Garret Anderson. Ramon Ortiz, Jarrod Washburn and John Lackey led the starting rotation. Over the next seven seasons the Los Angeles Angels went to the postseason six times. They hope to return again and TheSeats has the Angels tickets for the new season.
