When the then-Anaheim Angels selected Jered Weaver out of Long Beach State with the No. 12 pick in the 2004 MLB Draft, they landed an arm that would turn out to be one of the best pitchers in franchise history.

Weaver spent 11 of his 12 major league seasons with the Angels, making three All-Star teams and finishing in the top five in American League Cy Young Award voting on three occasions as well. Weaver was one of the more reliable arms of his era, throwing 175 or more innings on seven occasions.


For a franchise that began play in 1961, Weaver fell just short of making a list of the most accomplished players in team history. He shouldn't feel too poorly, he's joined in that category by Troy Glaus, Brian Downing, Darin Erstad, Mark Langston and Howie Kendrick, among other players who had excellent tenures with the Halos.

Such an impressive list of names left off the list gives you an idea of how exclusive of a club this is. Here are the nine greatest players in the history of the Angels franchise:
