This probably isn’t exactly what you’re looking for, but one of my favorite Angels-related books is Odd Man Out. It’s an autobiographical account of one year in the Angels minor league system. The elder Kotchman was his coach and he was teammates with Erick Aybar. It’s a good look at minor league life in general.

If you are interested in the life of a minor leaguer, I HIGHLY recommend this book.
Your list is great, so I'm just going to tack on some suggestions to what you've already got rather than start my own.

Yes, I understand the irony of Joe Posnanski and Jose Canseco being the only author with multiple books. Just read Canseco's books. They're actually not bad.
There are more I'm forgetting. I must have read 50 books about baseball in my short life. I'll add them if I remember.
