Angels Power Rankings – Position Players – August 18th

Home / Angels / Angels Power Rankings – Position Players – August 18th

My rankings include the entire 40 man roster – not just the active 25 man.

These rankings were compiled with the help of MLB stats, FanGraphs, misc. data, personal opinion, and some fairy dust I found hidden in Shoemaker’s beard.

Holy Trout suckage.  Despite some really bad offensive performances but some of the best Angels, the Angels (at least for the moment) have the best record in baseball and sit atop the AL West.

An asterisk* means the player was not on the active roster at the time of this posting.

Updates to List:

Brennan Boesch was called up from the minors
