A's season looks over before it starts
First, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim made a big bet in the AL West, signing not only free-agent first baseman Albert Pujols, but also left-handed starter C.J. Wilson, the Opening Day starter last season for the two-time defending AL champion Texas Rangers.
Then the Rangers raised the ante, landing Japanese right-hander Yu Darvish, amid speculation that they well could wind up...

Another week, another collection of the best tweets (term "best" used loosely) from LA Angels players and personnel. This week, C.J. Wilson loves warm weather, Hank Conger hates shadow boxers and JUMBACOS!!!!!!!!!
Remember how there were all these rumors that C.J. Wilson was always going to sign with the Angels because he badly wanted to live in California again? ...

January 20, 2012
Whether you were devastated, relieved, or somewhere in between when Albert Pujols rejected a reported $210 million, 10-year contract offer from team president, Bill Dewitt, and GM John Mozeliak, the fact remains that the departure of the St. Louis Cardinals’ long-time first basement gives the front office a lot more payroll flexibility moving forward.

#77: Is Ryan Braun the first overall pick in 2012?
Via Baseball Professor

January 20, 2012
Whoops.
Back when we put together our top 100 offseason questions, Ryan Braun was widely considered a reasonable first overall pick. He’s been among the best offensive weapons at any position in the entire league since he made his Major League debut back in 2007, and Braun’s .994 OPS last season led the league. He’s hit 30-plus homers and batted over .300 in four of five seasons...

Talk about a “Super Tuesday” — this week members of the 2011 World Champion St. Louis Cardinals met with President and First Lady Obama at the White House.
