Another week, another collection of the best tweets (term "best" used loosely) from LA Angels players and personnel. This week, Torii Hunter teaches us to respect the police, prospect Jon Karcich has a great invention and Hank Conger can't hide his hate for the Kardashians.
Torii Hunter never stops being a role model... I think:
I don't run from the PO PO NO MO. I am a law abiding citizen. Southland put the old me on their show. Lol

I don't watch Southland, so I have no idea what this is in reference to, but I am pretty sure if Hunter runs from the police like he steals bases, they would definitely catch him. ZING!
Angels prospect Jon Karcich already has a fallback plan in case this whole baseball thing doesn't work out:
One day I will invent a Lazy Boy toilet and be rich.... And comfortable.

Sorry, Jon, but as with most great ideas, the Simpsons al...

2012 Player Profile: Ervin Santana
Ervin Santana elevated himself into prominence with a no-hitter amid his outstanding season. For a guy whose career has been plagued by inconsistency, does this mean that he has finally arrived? Or is he once again setting us up only to let us down.

Rolling the Dice on a Reliever
The Angels have been spending a lot of time talking about their plans on adding a late-inning reliever to compliment Walden, yet so far they've let all the quality relievers on the free agent market slip past them. Now I don't blame them, some of them were just too overpriced (Madson), and some were just plain not worth it (Cordero). What makes this a tricky case is that...

Angels, Other Teams Have Made Offer To Luis Ayala
The Angels are one of a "handful of teams" that have formally tendered a contract offer to Luis Ayala, reports MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez. It's unclear if it's a minor league contract offer, and the right-handed reliever is still weighing his options and no decision is imminent.
