It looked for sure that Torii Hunter would sign with either the Texas Rangers or Chicago White Sox, but he shockingly agreed to a five-year, $90 million deal with the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday night.
The 32-year old Hunter spent all of his 11 seasons with the Minnesota Twins, collecting seven consecutive Gold Gloves (2001-2007) for his outstanding work in center field in the process. He also had the best season of his career at the plate this past year, batting .287 with 28 homers and 107 RBI. Hunter, a career .271 hitter, hit .278 while belting 31 homers and driving in 98 runs in 2006.
Hunter also hopes to bring some postseason experience for a club that has struggled in the playoffs their past few appearances. He is a lifetime .300 hitter in four October series'.
