C.J. Wilson Named MLB's Mane Man

Found February 06, 2013 on Hall of Very Good: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: CJ Wilson
TEAMS: Los Angeles Angels
Lost in all the hullabaloo of last week's Super Bowl was the fact that Head & Shoulders named their MLB "Mane Man" for the upcoming season.And that guy...none other than Los Angeles Angels pitcher, friend of The Hall, C.J. Wilson."Head & Shoulders is an iconic brand that I trust to take care of my hair and scalp so I can concentrate 100 percent on and off the mound," Wilson said. "Having a guy like C.J., who shows confidence both on and off the field, is a great way to bring scalp and hair care to the forefront for guys everywhere," said Michael Sabbia, Brand Manager for Head & Shoulders, North America, Procter & Gamble.So, really, what does this mean?You can bet you'll be seeing the lefty smiling at you both on your TV and in your grocery store.  But, hey, it could have been worse...Head & Shoulders could've named any one of these guys their poster boy.

   By Brian Waller, AngelsWin.com Writer Although it’s fun to see what former Angel greats like Tim Salmon, Jim Edmonds, or Chuck Finley are up to these days, I actually enjoy following up on the lesser known players that once wore an Angel’s uniform; players who weren’t mega stars but still made key contributions to the big club. I tend to think back to the championship...

In our 2012 Fantasy Baseball Draft Guide, we listed Mark Trumbo as a $2 player in auction league’s with a projected PSR of 1.10. We thought that he’d struggle to find playing time for the Angels with Albert Pujols manning first base, Torii Hunter, Mike Trout, and Vernon Wells roaming the outfield, and Kendrys Morales standing in as the team’s DH. Combined with a drop in per...

The Angels hagve spent the last few off-seasons pursuing superstars and signin some of them, but even with the wallet open, they cannot fill every position in that manner. Prior to the 2011 season, one of their primary targets was Adrian Beltre, who ended up going to Texas. The Angels got revenge by taking C.J. Wilson and Josh Hamilton away, but I would imagine the Rangers are not...

He's no Dan Haren, heck he may not even by Ervin Santana (although that might be a good thing) but he is the first of three new starters in the Angels rotation. He even has extensive experience in the AL West as a bonus! Let's take a look at Jason Vargas has in store for us in his first and possibly last season in Anaheim. 2012 Stats: 217.1 IP, 15-11, 3.85 ERA. 4.69 FIP...
