Tweeted by an Angel: C.J. Wilson = Breakdancer, Hank Conger Goes Panda Mode, The BCS Bores Victor Rojas

PLAYERS: CJ Wilson,  Hank Conger
TEAMS: Los Angeles Angels

Another week, another collection of the best tweets (term "best" used loosely) from LA Angels players and personnel. This week, we take a look at C.J. Wilson the breakdancer, Hank Conger going "Panda Mode" and Victor Rojas being as bored by the BCS game as the rest of us were. You know how some people like to make fun C.J. Wilson because he is a "hipster" who has some unusual off-field interests. Well, this isn't going to help dispel that stereotype: Okay time to go get some breakdancing lessons — C.J. Wilson (@str8edgeracer) January 11, 2012 I'm only in favor of this if he yells, "you got served!" at the batter after every strikeout and then starts popping and locking right there on the mound. In case you didn't know, Hank Conger has been practicing yoga this off-season to try and improve his flexibility behind the plate: Hot yoga with @Jkang11 #pandamode #namaste #flyingfrog — Hank Conger (@HankConger16) January 11...

2012 Player Profile: Dan Haren

Via Monkey with a Halo  |  January 12, 2012
It may have been Jered Weaver getting all of the Cy Young attention in 2011, but a case could be made that Dan Haren was actually better than Weaver last season. Can Haren repeat the same kind of success in 2012 and if so, will it actually get noticed this time? (EDITOR'S NOTE: Due to the early start, not all stat projection systems are available yet, but I will update...

Bill James Predicts The Lansford/Burleson/Hobson Trade Outcome

Via 6-4-2: Double Play Blog  |  January 13, 2012
Back when I was doing the daily series about player birthdays in team history, I ran this for Rick Burleson which detailed the catastrophic trade by the Angels of Carney Lansford, Mark Clear, and Rick Miller to Boston for Rick Burleson and Butch Hobson. That deal turned out to be a catastrophe for the Angels — it was the second such horror in as many years, given the team let...

Did the Rangers Bid On Yu Darvish Just to Block Toronto?

Via Rant Sports  |  January 12, 2012
I admit it. I was very surprised to hear the Texas Rangers had won the bid for Yu Darvish. Why? They had CJ Wilson around for 6 years 75 million, and moving Feliz to the Rotation and signing Joe Nathan makes them just as good. With reports surfacing that the Rangers and Darvish aren’t very close to an agreement, makes me wonder. You see, I like baseball conspiracy theory-...
