“The Angels have been an amazing organization to play with for 11 years and I would love to stay here. I’ve never been in this position to even experience free agency before. But my options are open. I don’t even know if the Angels want to take a shot at having me back or any of that. I guess we’ll know more in the months to come.”
As Jered Weaver heads into his first offseason as a free agent, we’ve dedicated today’s first poll to some of our favorite moments from his career.

Without further ado, LET THE VOTING BEGIN!
Let’s kick things off by deciding which Themed Event at Angel Stadium was the most entertaining this season.
The “Best Defensive Player” category is BACK in the poll lineup this year! Unlike the Wilson Defensive Player of the Year Award (determined by formulas that combine traditional defensive stats and advanced metrics) and the Rawlings Gold Glove Award (voted on by Major League managers and coaches), the Angels Fan Favorites Award for “Best Defensive Player” will be determined by YOUR knowledge and opinions. Which Halo didn’t go unnoticed for his stellar defense this season?
Visit http://atmlb.com/2e0NMYR for this season’s sortable player stats.
This season, we laughed, we cried, we gasped and we cheered while looking at baseball through GIFs. There’s nothing more satisfying than the perfect infinite loop. With that being said, which of the following animated GIFs never gets old?
Gotta do it for the gram! Each year, fans continue to gain more behind-the-scenes access from their favorite Angels. Which player’s Instagram account did you enjoy following the most in 2016?
We’ve seen what the guys can do on the field, from walk-off wins, great defensive plays, to outstanding pitching performances. However, what some of the players do off the field is equally as admirable and special. It is now your opportunity to vote on which Angel has the “Biggest Heart”.
