Angels: Worst defensive team in baseball
According to David Pinto and his "Probabilistic Model of Range".
I suspect that the bulk of responsibility rests on the outfield, which must have been historically inept when you consider that the Angels should have had two gold-glove winners on the infield. However we can't test that theory, because Pinto has only the team numbers up at the moment. But he promises that individual numbers are soon to follow. (That's good news, because I've been sitting around waiting for the 2004 UZRs to come out, which apparently isn't going to happen after Michael Lichtman took a job with the Cardinals. Who knew?)
UPDATE: Pinto now has numbers listed by pitcher, and Chronicles points out how badly John Lackey got screwed last season. Boy, was he ever! Absolutely reamed, without lubrication.
