Can someone give me a Cliff's Notes sumary of the Angels this season, best players, current standing, etc. I am attending a game and would like to know a few facts about them before I go. Thanks for the help!

I hope that you see Jered Weaver pitch, he is good.
Chone (pronounced Shawn) Figgins is a jack-of-all-trades that plays second and third base and all of the outfield; a very speedy player that gets lots of stolen bases.
Starting pitcher John Lackey strikes out a lot of batters but he has had tough going the second half of the year.
Relief Ace or closer Frankie Rodriguez strikes out about one per inning and has over 40 saves this year; one of the best in baseball.
Vlad Guerrero is one of the best players in the game, good power, swings at almost anything and still does not strike out.
Supposedly he chose the Angels because the team owner spoke Spanish to him when he was a free agent.
The Angels are not that far from being competitive. They just need another power hitter in leftfield and first base; a consistent catcher that can hit some; a third baseman that plays consistently and two starting pitchers to go with Lackey, Weaver, and Santana.
OK, I guess it is good for them that they are in the AL West.

ok, well I'm not going to check the net, but I watch them on tv and I can tell you that their bullpen is awesome, they have the fastest guy, Chone Figgins, in the league. They need to have another bat in the lineup, behind Vlady, he has so many Intentional Walks. They have a good rotation, but this year, only the rookies are doing the best, they have Jarrod Weaver, Ervin Santana, John Lackey, and Escobar with 10 wins or more.

Their best player is Vladamir Guerrero....They have a great young phenom pitcher in Jered Weaver..and if they lose to the A's tonight, then they're out of the playoffs...and they also have a good, young closer in Fransisco Rodriguez...are these good for you?

That's impossible. There is no team called the Angels in Los Angeles.
