His 95 runs is third all-time, while his 167 hits in a single season ranks sixth.Highlight Game: May 18, 1970 Chicago White Sox. Fregosi went a perfect 4-for-4 with a double, home run, walk, and three runs.His four-hit day raised his batting average from .271 to .292 and the Angels won the game 6-1.Competition: Dick Schofield is the only shortstop who could really rival Fergosi's power. In the '86 season he hit 13 home runs and stole 23 bases, but he batted .249 which makes it hard to root for him in this list.The more recent options of Orlando Cabrera and David Eckstein provide a decent mix of batting average, stolen bases and runs In 2007 Cabrera batted .301 with 20 steals and 101 runs. 
Eckstein went .293-21-107 in 2002. Outfield: Vladimir Guerrero (2004)Vlad had a picture-perfect MVP year with the Anaheim Angels in 2004, exceeding the high standards he set himself in Montreal in 2000 and 2002.Guerrero hit 39 home runs, batted .337, and scored a league-leading 124 runs. His 366 total bases was also the high mark in the AL that year, and he ranked inside the top five in hits (206, third), RBI (126, fourth), and OBP (.989, third).No Angels outfielder has ever hit more home runs or scored more runs in a single season, and Guerrero's 2004 season is also good enough for the third most RBI in one year.While he only stole 15 bases, his running game was arguably better than during his stay in Canada where he had a permanent green light. In 2004, he was caught just three times, compared to 2002 when he stole 40 bags but was thrown out 20 times.Highlight Game: June 2, 2004 vs Boston. The Angels beat the Red Sox 10-7 and Vlad Guerrero was responsible for nine of the runs.He went 4-for-4 with two home runs, a double, and nine runs batted in.Guerrero hit a two-run homer off Pedro Martinez in the first inning, a two-run double in the third, a sacrifice fly to deep right field in the fourth, a three-run home run off Mike Timlin in the sixth, and an RBI-single in the seventh. Don Baylor (1979)From one MVP to another, Baylor was the gold standard by which all other players were measured in 1979.Baylor, who split time between the corner outfield positions and DH spot, led the league with 139 RBI and 120 runs.He batted .296 and hit 36 home runs while swiping 22 bags and drawing 71 walks.His .371 on-base percentage and .530 slugging percentage were the highest of his Hall of Fame career, while his combination of power and speed was second only to Bobby Bonds.Highlight Game: Aug 25, 1979 Toronto. In a blow-out against the Blue Jays, Baylor had a pair of home runs and eight RBI as the Angels steam-rolled the Jays 24-2.Baylor drilled a first-inning grand slam, followed by a three-run shot in the sixth by which point the Angels were already winning 18-2. Bobby Bonds (1977)In his second and final year with the Angels, Bonds hit 37 home runs, drove in 115 runs and slugged .520.He also stole 41 bases, ran out nine triples, and scored 103 runs. It is not too much of a stretch to say that he was the single reason why the Angles didn't finish bottom of the AL West behind the Mariners or As.Bonds ranked second in the American League in home runs behind Jim Rice, second in RBI to Minnesota's Larry Hisle, and fourth in extra-base hits.Highlight Game: June 23, 1979 Chicago White Sox. Bonds stole three bases and scored four runs in a 10-6 victory over the White Sox.
He went 2-for-3 with two walks and a pair of runs batted in.It was the only time he either scored four times or swiped three bases in the '79 season.Competition: There is a lot of competition in the Angels' outfield. Darin Erstad batted .355 with 25 home runs, 100 RBI, 121 runs scored, and 28 stolen bases in 2000. While that alone would normally be good enough for automatic selection, it was simply a personal preference to go with Bonds.Taking absolutely nothing away from Erstad, his 240 hits is a result of his league-leading 676 at bats and 747 plate appearances. It was also the exception rather than the rule, although I tried to keep this fact set aside because I was looking at single seasons in isolation.Devon White also deserves an honorable mention for his 1987 season in which he hit 24 home runs and stole 32 bases Unlike Erstad though, he only batted .263.
