Key Stats: C.J. Wilson was a top 50 player in fantasy baseball last year playing in the worst pitcher's park in all of baseball according to ESPN Park Factors. Now he goes to the OC and the park that was 27th in all of baseball in terms of runs by Park Factors. In three starts at Angel Stadium last year, Wilson had an 0.53 ERA. During the last two seasons his ERA has been significantly worse at home than it has been on the road. This switch was perfect. Skeptics Say: He is coming off of a contract year in which he got a really big contract. Between finding a new house and finding a way to spend his new found wealth, how much time did he spend getting in shape for a season? There's a reason that players typically dip after a contract year and Wilson could be another example of that this season.
Peer Comparison: Wilson is going to be slotted as the Angels number three starting pitcher to start the season behind Dan Haren and Jered Weaver. It doesn't matter much ...
