Career with the Angels Since signing with the California Angels in 1994, Garret Anderson has emerged as one of the greatest players in the franchise's history. After finishing second in the Rookie of the Year voting in 1995 to Marty Cordova of the Minnesota Twins, Anderson became a mainstay in the Angels' lineup. Over the next 8 seasons, he accumulated at least 600 at bats every year, breaking 90 RBIs and 20 Home Runs 5 times while compiling a batting average near .300. In 2002, when the Angels won their first World Series championship, Garret finished 4th in the MVP voting after compiling a .306 average with 29 home runs and 123 runs batted in. After a similarly strong performance in 2003, Anderson's career has taken a down turn in production. Starting with 2004, he has experienced chronic ailments, including an arthritic condition and plantar fasciitis in his feet. In 2005, he began to see more regular time as a designated hitter to ease the wear and tear off of his body. Anderson's production in 2006 was roughly on par with his 2005 production, with both seasons seeing him hit 17 home runs and drive in at least 85 runs. Despite his continued ability to drive in runs, Anderson is now statistically considered a slightly better than average hitter.

Throughout his career, Anderson's major weakness has been his inability to draw walks. As a result, despite otherwise impressive numbers, he has had consistently low on-base percentages and runs scored, and he has also often been among the league leaders in outs made. He has never scored 100 runs in a season, a glaring hole in an era when 100 or more runs in a season is common among elite players. Though undeniably one of the better players of his time, this flaw in Anderson's game may prove the difference between a Hall of Fame career and one that is simply very good, especially as modern baseball analysis has grown to include much more than merely average, homeruns, and RBI.
