Angels Get Tweet of the Decade

Bob Nightengale of USA Today tweeted a masterpiece of swagger on behalf of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim late Wednesday night:

The say that they can afford to sign both Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson, shelling out in excess of $300 milliion.

Star-divide

I could link to a million things like LaTroy Hawkins thanking "Halo Heaven" for so may followers adding him on Twitter or the fact that Yu Darvish will post today so ESPN will be covering the Red Sox and Yankees jockeying for a posting fee orgy as their entire baseball coverage from this point forward or any number of other things, but instead let's just enjoy the Tweet of the decade.

C.J. Wilson has less mileage on his arm than any pitcher in baseball with his numbers over the past two seasons. Albert Pujols had a 150 OPS+ in 2012, the worst full season of his career. Arte Moreno is not talking this Winter. He's signing checks.

And maybe you missed it, but reagins got canned and dipoto has done a pretty good job so far.

Pujols> fielder

by Balls and Strikes on Dec 8, 2011 12:25 AM PST via mobile up reply actions  

yes pujols>fielder, but with the money to sign pujols you can have fielder+wilson which is better than pujols.. and for the long term, at least fielder estimately will give us 1 bad year at his last year, but how many bad years will pujols gives us at the end of the contract.. 3 yrs @ 22m each??

by letsgolal on Dec 8, 2011 12:33 AM PST up reply actions  

You dont know who will be more productive over their contract

Fielder could drop off a cliff just like his dad, pujols could be crushing baseballs into his mid 40s… Or fielder could be a champ and pujols could slow down.

Every contract has risk. Pujols is less of a threat to drop off a cliff than fielder.

by Balls and Strikes on Dec 8, 2011 12:56 AM PST via mobile up reply actions  

huh?

pujols is almost a lock at ten years.. fielder at 7… so if you take into account pujols at 41&42 is greater risk than fielder at 34&35

ortiz may not be as fat as fielder, but the similarity is there, and look ortiz is still productive.. i dont know if any 40 year old hitter can be that productive??

by letsgolal on Dec 8, 2011 1:01 AM PST up reply actions  

and btw

you keep omitting the addition of CJ wilson?? :)

by letsgolal on Dec 8, 2011 1:02 AM PST up reply actions  

You are too optimistic on Fielder’s price. We have edge to sign Pujols because we can let Pujols play DH at the final 3-4 years of the contract and Marlins/Cubs/Cards cannot let him do that. That is the reason I do not think Fielder’s contract will be that cheap. Many NL teams will make offers because they do not need to consider about Fielder cannot play defense at his age of 34 or 35.

by tunababy on Dec 8, 2011 1:05 AM PST up reply actions  

You're Way Off

as far as what it will take to sign Fielder.

He turned down an extension from the Brewers at 8 years, $176 million before he even became a free agent. You’re delusional if you think he can now be had for $26 million less.

It will take more than $200 million to land Fielder.

by Jason Andrew Martin on Dec 8, 2011 12:48 AM PST via iPhone app reply actions  

hmmm

i believe in almost every offseason, the Angels are always in the discussion for high profile free agent signing.. the problem is, it always end there, i will be virtually shock if we sign albert pujols after striking out to texiera, crawford and others..??

the positive side, both boston and NY are not in it this year.. so maybe this is the year??

by letsgolal on Dec 8, 2011 12:53 AM PST up reply actions  

That's exactly why you get negative feedback here on too-good-to-be-true reports.

Until the new Angels front office regime stops the trend, there will always be skepticism on stuff like this. We’ve heard for years how we have the money and the willingness, bu somehow it always ends there.

I’d love for these rumors to be true, but in the baseball world we have to see it to believe it.

by moralesforpresident on Dec 8, 2011 2:27 AM PST up reply actions  

I think the thing about Pujols

is that he’d always be a Cardinal..kinda like remembering Vlad as an Expo. I’m not sure Fielder is entrenched as a Brewer. But I’m not sure we’d get Fielder. Remember, his dad, Cecil Fielder grew up around the West Covina – La Puente area and went to high school right there in south Rowland Heights. As much as Fielder hates his dad, maybe he doesn’t want to be near that area. So I say, let’s go for Pujols, sign C.J. and then trade Trumbo to the Marlins for Bonifacio, after they trade away Hanley. (Borjous + Trout + Bonifacio would be killer!)

Boston has been jonesing for Hanley for a few years now and they have a big problem at SS. At some point I thought NYY might be open to trading Tex for a SP and an OF to sign Pujols, but Boston could swoop.

Arte is about marketing and smells $$$

Pujols will be chasing down ARod/Bonds HR record toward the end of the deal, DHing and mashing the ball ala Thome, imagine that added revenue. Fat guys who get paid get fatter into their mid 30’s, nobody wants Mo Vaughn 2.0.

"NO Trout for you." -- Tony Reagins, 5/23/11

by ChargerBill on Dec 8, 2011 1:43 AM PST reply actions  

Good point.

I’m sure his agent is marketing that. With Albert Pujols, you aren’t just signing an extremely productive player. You are signing one of the best in the game, and one of the all-time greats. You are signing a guy who, during the life of this next contract, is bound to break all kinds of records. The Angels have few players throughout their franchise history that even come close to being in the discussion of all-time greats. This would be a rare opportunity for Arte to put a stamp on this organization.

Arte hasn’t won a World Series with this team yet, and it is obvious how eager he is to win one. If he wants to shift the power in the AL West with one swift move, I think this is it. A signing like this could potentially end Texas’ short reign over the division. Usually I would say we are at least a couple moves away from taking the division from Texas, but a move of this magnitude would alone be enough to shake the balance in our division, and maybe even the American League.

Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home……if you’re mature enough to realize it.

Pujols stays in St. Louis and CJ returns to OC.

Sports news media is trying to inflate “anger” Pujols feels for Cards. Having Stan Musiel beckon Pujols has to be tearing him up.

Gosh! I hope the Angels don’t overpay CJ.

Three years ago, we supposedly offered Teixeira $160MM/8years = $20MM/year. $21MM/year for 10 years isn’t that far off.

Listening to ESPN radio this morning in Seattle.

Hysterical. They’re pushing for the Mariners to sign Prince Fielder.

And a big dose of sour grapes, claiming Pujols is really 34.

THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!

If Mathis was still on the roster, Scioscia wouldn’t have allowed Pujols to wear #5.
