Eb
Jerome Williams earned his second major league shutout with a three-hitter, Torii Hunter homered for the fourth time in five games after a season-opening 18-game drought, and Howie Kendrick also went deep against struggling Francisco Liriano to lead the Los Angeles Angels to a 4-0 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night. Williams (2-1) threw 109 pitches, striking out six and retiring 18 of his last 19 batters while going the distance for only the third time in 81 career starts. His other shutout was on June 27, 2003 with the Giants, a seven-hitter against the Oakland Athletics at San Francisco in his sixth big league start. The game was over in 2 hours, 10 minutes.

Mike Trout is incredibly fast

Via The Outside Corner  |  May 02, 2012
Mike Trout's speed was the thing of legends while he was in the minor leagues.  We would only hear tales about him blazing along the basepaths, like the time he scored from first base on a routine single.  But in his abbreviated time in the majors, Trout had yet to really put his wheels on full display, until last night when he laid down a bunt and ran to first in 3.53 seconds...

By Steve Haston - AngelsWin.com Satire Writer Anaheim, CA - In a time where division rivals are highly unlikely to do trade business with each other, the Texas Rangers made a strong push to take Vernon Wells off of the Angels hands.

Why You Need To buy Low On Pujols

Via Fantasy Baseball 365  |  May 02, 2012
It's no secret that the savy manager can make or break his team with the buy low/sell high trade mantra. An extreme example is the trade I've just executed in my 12 team mixed keeper league. I was offered Joey Votto, Roy Halladay and a 3rd round pick in next years draft for Josh Hamilton and my 2nd rounder. This is an extreme example, and I think the planets alligned for...
