Because that deal is terrible.

 

[killgod]

fuck, i don't want this asshole in the AL.

 

[Lanteri]

Because that deal is terrible.

I disagree. You do what you have to do to get a hitter of his caliber. He'll pay for himself. It's not like the Angels are some small market team that can't afford to make a big splash.

It would be a terrible deal for a team like Miami, but for the Angels, it's a huge deal.

wow hell of a deal if it's signed

 

[FirstTimer]

Ho. Li. Shit.

^^ u ain't lyin...damn

We've needed a reliable bat for years and even if this is a bad deal it's still 30x's more justifiable than the Wells contract we already have on the books.

Thanks again for that :troll:


Although Wells is capable of stringing together a .280/30/100 line still, he has it in him if he can avoid the hammy injury he always gets.

As a baseball fan I would much rather he stay with the cardinals or go to Miami. The Angels? Gonna look stupid in a Angels jersey much like how LeBron looks stupid in a Heat jersey.

Prince Fielder just came.

Wouldn't he look stupid in a Miami jersey too?

...Wait, everyone looks stupid in the new Miami jerseys.

What? They're ruining baseball......you can't buy a championship!!11!
Oh, he signed with the Angels and not the Yankees.....nevermind.

The AL West is going to be one heck of a division for next year. Athletics will also make a good accounting for themselves with their pitching staff, but the Angels/Rangers is going to be a huge matchup.

I'll have more comments later, as I'm on break at work right now.

CJ Wilson to the Angels....Arte Moreno has waited years to make his big moves in free agency. This is finally that year.

Lefty C.J. Wilson will join Albert Pujols in Los Angeles, as the Angels continue a surprising free agent spending spree. The Halos completed a deal with Wilson today, an executive who spoke to the team told Joel Sherman of the New York Post.

Wilson, a 31-year-old Fountain Valley, California native, posted a 2.94 ERA, 8.3 K/9, 3.0 BB/9, 0.64 HR/9, and 49.3% groundball rate in 223 1/3 innings this year. He added another 28 innings in the postseason. Including the playoffs, Wilson has tallied a massive 479 2/3 innings over 76 starts since being converted back to a starter in 2010

He's one of the hardest players to get behind I've ever encountered. I went to back to back games this year and in the first game Wells was 3-4 with a HR and the game tying double and people were chanting his name...

The next night he struck out three times, including the last AB of the game, and I thought there was going to be a riot.

Sounds like V Dub to me.
