#40 Ervin Santana, RHP (2005-present)

Santana was signed by the Angels as an amateur free agent in 2000. As a rookie, Ervin pitched the Angels to a 4-3 win over Oakland to clinch the 2005 AL West title. Then in Game 5 of the 2005 ALDS, Santana relieved the injured Bartolo Colon, earning a 5-3 victory, and sending the Angels to the ALCS against Chicago. Santana’s best season was 2008, when he went 16-7 with a 3.49 ERA and a team record 4.553 K/BB – good enough to make the All-Star team and finish 6^th in the Cy Young balloting. In 2009, Santana was again the winning pitcher as the Angels crushed Texas 11-0 to wrap up the 2009 AL West championship. In 2010, Santana won a career high 17 victories, recording a .630 W/L% (his fourth W/L % of .600+ in his six year career).
