C.J. Wilson Signs With Angels For Five-Years, $75 Million
Former Rangers pitcher C.J. Wilson, who’s probably most famous for being mediocre in the postseason and dating the visually enticing Dominique Piek, has signed a 5-year, $75 million deal with the Los Angeles Angels. That brings the club’s spending tally for the day to $325 million and it’s not even noon. Safe to say Arte Moreno’s morning has been far more impressive than yours.
Wilson pitched a career-high 223.1 innings last season to go along with a WHIP of 1.19.
Because of this news and accompanying research, I learned there is a website entitled “CJ Wilson is a Douche.” The more you know.

1. No really, fuck the Royals for selling a Red Sox Rule 5 pick to the Yankees
2. Former Red Sox top prospect Ryan Westmoreland is going to play in a game (DH) for the first time in 2 years following brain surgery to repair a cavernous malformation.

Thanks for the run Rangers….
$325 million for two playes? It’s not a good day to be a team like the Mariners, Royals, Twins, Rockies, Astros, etc….
December 8th, 2011 at 11:33 AM
Man, Tribe should put Fausto on the market if teams are willing to drop this kinda scrilla for a #3 pitcher.
December 8th, 2011 at 11:34 AM
When exactly was it?
December 8th, 2011 at 11:34 AM
The Pirates paying their draft picks is ruining baseball.

Wow. Definitely don’t want to hear that from any doctor. God bless him.

I think the Astros proved in the past that they can spend the money with the big boys, just not very smartly. And for that we are now paying.

December 8th, 2011 at 11:43 AM
Rangers will be much more interested in Garza now. Parting with those top prospects or MLB players will be easier.

5. put 20 bucks of gas in minivan

Yes, I’ve already bitched about that in a previous thread.
December 8th, 2011 at 11:47 AM
I find it funny that we live in a world where CJ Wilson makes almost as much money per year as Albert Pujols.
December 8th, 2011 at 11:48 AM

That’ll last around two days at most, right?

Oh my. Peter Gammons saying it’s a strong possibility the Cubs will sign Fielder? How does one prepare crow? Is it good with a side of hat? Shoe?
He’s approaching senility so I suppose I’ll just preheat the oven but not get out the ingredients yet.

There was a post about the same time it was “broken” that Theo was joining the Cubs. Wasn’t much in doubt…

Too big of a name. Now Josh Willingham? That’s more likely.

Anaheim’s on the coast? Since when? What did I miss? My trip through orange county/Anaheim consisted of terrible traffic/sprawl, and a bunch of nice looking strip malls that all looked the same. If he wanted to live on the beach he should have gone to the Marlins. No state income tax there either. I’m sure CA is going to rape him a new one.
