Arte Moreno has Jeffrey Loria Disease.

They will need all that firepower to hold off the Astros.

He's a so-cal kid. He must have turned down the Marlins in favor of LAA. Having Pujols on your team doesn't hurt.

5 years $75 million this is the same guy form the playoffs right?

attgig Dec 08 2011 09:15 AM Re: CJ WILSON TO ANGELS!

that's lower than what I thought he'd get. this actually may be a decent deal for the angels... they're sure going to get some national coverage when they're playing against the rangers this coming season. all this must really be to get some leverage over fox.

saw on twitter that the Angels TV deal is expected to go from $50 million a season to $150......flush with money.

Considering that Buehrle got nearly the same annual salary, this is a coup for the Angels.

Still if this one and/or the Pujols deals don't work out they certainly won't be the first of Arte Moreno-era LAA deals that have gone bad on him: Gary Mathews and Toriiii Hunter, plus (to a lesser degree) Vlad and (acquired via trade) Vernon Wells They still have one more year of Hunter, three more of Wells. The rest of their bad contracts seem to either be gone (Kazmir) or actually worth the money (Jered Weaver, Dan Haren) Nice staff for 2012 anyway: Weaver, Haren, Wilson, Santana

Bio: following my dreams since the 80's. pitching, racing, straight edge, PMA, and an extensive list of hobbies sustain my joie de vivre. Does "PMA" stand for "Punch My Asshole"?

Wilson signed a five-year, $77.5MM deal with the Halos, but agent Bob Garber told Ken Rosenthal Wilson could "easily" have gotten $100MM, and the Marlins "would not let it go." Said Wilson: "But if it were just about money I'd be a Marlin, straight up, because they offered more money, they have a great situation."

What was it about? Florida not have enough gated communities?

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Dec 08 2011 12:47 PM Re: CJ WILSON TO ANGELS!

I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with this, but it would be funny if it did: Rangers pitcher C.J. Wilson tweeted, "Seriously people- taking out a star player to preserve his batting average lead...weak! I hope ryan braun goes 5- 5 and wins the title now."

attgig Dec 08 2011 01:00 PM Re: CJ WILSON TO ANGELS!

people are speculating it's the no trade clause that florida wouldn't give.

Wilson's also a SoCal native

Just flashed back to my college days and got this. PMA is a straight edge abreviation for "Positive Mental Attitude." [youtube]aWWI2rGdda4[/youtube]

I remember some GotW telecast or some such deal where Wilson was going on about maintaining his 'Straight Edge' lifestyle. IIRC it was some kind of drug-free regimen that sounded a bit fishy to me ... or at least a bit douchey.

Fman99 Dec 08 2011 08:28 PM Re: CJ WILSON TO ANGELS!

Wow, it's hard to get much farther apart than "Positive Mental Attitude" and "Punch My Asshole."

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Dec 08 2011 10:24 PM Re: CJ WILSON TO ANGELS!

A lot closer together in spirit than you think, though, Effy.

Edgy MD Dec 09 2011 05:30 AM Re: CJ WILSON TO ANGELS!

Yeah, "Punch My Asshole" wasn't the title of the next track on the album, but it kinda could've been.
