Angels signed LHP C.J. Wilson to a five-year, $77.5 million contract. Not only did the Angels sign the best hitter available in Albert Pujols, they also secured the top starting pitcher on the free agent market. Wilson turned down a more lucrative six-year contract from the Marlins for the opportunity to pitch in his native Southern California. The 31-year-old left-hander has a 3.14 ERA since making the move to the starting rotation at the start of 2010, which is pretty impressive considering that he called the Ballpark at Arlington home. There's a good chance he'll be even more effective pitching half his games in Angel Stadium.

Pujols and Wilson are gonna be big jokes this year, Wilson has been a big joke his whole career.
