The Angels top free agent priority should be re-signing Mark Teixeira. Everything pretty much centers on if they will be able to entice Teixeira to return to Anaheim before looking into signing another hitter. If Teixeira returns, there probably won't be much else happening on the free agent front as far as hitter are concerned. However, if Teixeira signs some place else, the Angels will need to replace his offense and since there isn't much within the Angels system, they will most likely explore the free agent market.
Free Agent (age) - 2008 salary
I'll update this information with the type of free agent each player is as soon as Elias releases the free agent rankings.
Catchers
The Angels are set behind the plate and are highly unlikely to even sniff around at the catcher position.

I like Sean Casey. Maybe not as an everyday player, but at least as an almost everyday player. Doesn't have a lot of pop in his bat, but he does take his walks and makes decent contact. Useful player at the right price and in the right situation.

The Mets will most likely pick up Delgado's option after his monster second half. I think his pre-All Star break numbers are more indicative of what to expect from him in 2009.

Garciaparra is an interesting option. Not the great shortstop as he was a few years ago, and definitely more fragile, but his ability to play third, first and occasionally short make Nomar a decent bench player...at the right price.

Giambi surprised a lot of people by having a decent season in 2008. Certainly $23M is way too much for the big first baseman, even if he re-grows his mustache, but Giambi could see time DH'ing for some AL club, just not likely to be in Anaheim.

Rumors surround Teixeira. Some people think he'll end up in pinstripes, others think he'll be playing in Fenway, and other are certain he'll return to the Angels. He's absolutely the best hitter available and will get his money.

Second basemen
There is no shortage of middle infielders in Anaheim and the Angels are unlikely to sign a free agent to play either short or second. The only way they'll concider one of these players is if they make a couple trades and do not receive a middle infielder back (Uggla or Greene).

Eckstein was rumored to be returning to the Angels last season at the trading deadline, but went to Arizona instead. If the Angels do trade one of their current infielders, don't be surprised if Eckstein is wearing a halo again.

Probably one of the best players in this group, but would most likely be too expensive for the Angels to sign if they needed him.

Punto's not a bad player, but he seems to have that every-other-year thing going on, and 2009 is the year to avoid.
Shortstops
Angels have 4 players who can play short, I don't see them signing any other these guys.

Furcal is the type of player I think the Angels could use. Someone to take over the lead-off spot from Figgins, gets on base, and can steal a base when needed. Not going to be cheap however.

Would have loved to see him playing for the Angels...in the '90's instead of Gary DiSarcina. One of the best fielding shortstops in the history of baseball, but about 15 years too late to play for the Halos.
Third basemen
The Angels already have a couple options for the hot-corner. Either Figgins will remain at third or the Angels finally give the position over to Brandon Wood. There have been rumors that Dan Uggla may be traded to the Angels and would play third base, but I don't see it happening...at least not yet.

Nice season from an unexpected source, wouldn't think that'll happen again...but then, I wouldn't be too surprised.
Outfielders
If the Angels do not pick up Garret Anderson's option (they won't) or re-sign him at a lower salary and Teixeira signs with another team, the Angels might sign an outfielder. They might sign one even if they get Teixeira to return. Going into the 2008 season, the Halos were pretty deep in the outfield, but if Anderson and Juan Rivera are gone, with the continued struggles of Gary Matthews Jr., and the aging of Vlad Guerrero's knees, what was once a position of depth might now be a position of need.

If the Angels look to sign an outfielder, I would like them to sign Abreu, but for no more than two years and at nothing more than $8M - $10M. Won't likely happen, but it'd be nice to have his bat in the Halo line-up for a couple years.

The Angels should sign him to play only after the All-star break. I think it'll all come down to Anderson's desire to retire an Angel or if he thinks he can still play everyday.

Sign him. But only if he's cheap enough, $3M - $4M a year and then play him 4 or 5 games a week. And sign Garret Anderson for about the same amount and have these two guys split time in left.

Another possible replacement for Teixeira, and one I like. People complain about his high strikeout rate, but who cares when you get on base almost 40% of the time and can hit 40+ a year.

I don't think Rivera would be a full-time player with the Angels in 2009, so he's likely to sign with a team who will play him everyday, which he deserves. I just hope it's in the National League so he doesn't hurt the Angels.

Thomas used to be one of my favorite players, but getting old sucks for all of us.
