On February 11th, Sam Blum of The Athletic posted the results of an Angels fan survey he conducted. One of the questions was "Who is your favorite player, not including Mike Trout?" The answers: Logan O'Hoppe, Zach Neto, Taylor Ward, Luis Rengifo, Ben Joyce, Jo Adell, Nolan Schanuel and José Soriano.
Of that group, O'Hoppe, Neto, Joyce, Adell, Schanuel and Soriano are the crowned jewels of the Angels franchise moving forward given that they are all age-27 or younger and have shown that they belong at the major league level. Well, those six fan favorites plus another spectacular youngster are either dealing with injuries here in mid-September as the Angels season is coming to a close.
