Money, money, money is what the teams are spending on free agents. Today Albert Pujols signed with the Angels for $250-260 million over 10 years. Also the Angels signed CJ Wilson for about $77.5 million over 5 years. Where did the Angles come from all of a sudden. What does this mean?
The Angels have become even a bigger thorn in every team's side. The Angels are pesky and aggressive on the base pads They don't hit many home runs, but now with Big Albert they will be a huge force in the American League. The combination of speed, power, and high on base percentages could lead them to a division title.
CJ Wilson will strengthen that rotation to the status of the 2011 Phillies. With Jared Weaver, Dan Haren, Ervin Santana and now CJ Wilson, this is an explosive rotation. Playing in the huge Angels Stadium in Anaheim or what ever they call it this week that ERA could be microscopic. Not to mention the Angels' not perfect, but above average bullpen, their pitching will be close to lights out.
What if the Angels sign Yu Darvish. If he performs well in the MLB, that rotation will have no holes. The only other thing I can say is that those Angels-Rangers match ups will be fun to watch it.
