The Angels overcame a lot of adversity in 2009, including the April death of RHP Nick Adenhart and a rash of injuries throughout the first half of the season. And yet, they won their division for the fifth time in the past six seasons and reached the AL Championship Series for the second time in that span. This could be a winter of significant change, however, with seven players eligible for free agency.
--RHP Jose Arredondo, who reportedly needs Tommy John surgery after getting hurt in the Dominican Winter League, was non-tendered by the Angels. Arredondo, 25, spent time on the disabled list in June and July because of a strained ligament in his elbow. Arredondo, who would have been eligible for arbitration this winter, was in Class AAA at the time. RHP Dustin Moseley, who had hip surgery in August, and INF Matt Brown were also non-tendered by the Angels.
A year ago, the Angels chased one of the big fish in baseball's offseason, free agent first baseman Mark Teixeira. When they came up empty, the chopped up those resources and signed three players instead -- outfielders Juan Rivera and Bobby Abreu and closer Brian Fuentes.
That same scenario could play out again with a different set of names.
Any hopes of Jason Bay returning to the Red Sox appear to be history.
