Outfielder Torii Hunter and the Los Angeles Angels reached an agreement Wednesday night on a five-year contract worth $90 million.

"They play the game the right way," Hunter said. "They play hard-nosed baseball."

The addition of Hunter forms one of the best outfields in baseball. Along with Hunter the Angels boast Vladimir Guerrero, Garret Anderson, Gary Matthews Jr. and Reggie Willits.

Known as a low-budget team, the Twins didn't have enough money to keep an all-star like Hunter on the roster.

"Sometimes it's time to move on," Hunter said. "Sometimes your welcome is gone."

For his career, Hunter is a .271 hitter with 192 homers and 711 RBIs in 1,234 games.
