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.

Man, Tribe should put Fausto on the market if teams are willing to drop this kinda scrilla for a #3 pitcher.

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.

Rangers will be much more interested in Garza now. Parting with those top prospects or MLB players will be easier.

Yes, I’ve already bitched about that in a previous thread.

I find it funny that we live in a world where CJ Wilson makes almost as much money per year as Albert Pujols.

No online bill pay? Man. I forget what it’s like to not live in a city, I guess. Makes me want to start the well up in the spring.
