CJ Wilson shut down again


Recommended Posts

The thing that always bugged me about this guy (other than the fact that he comes off like a self-centered douche) is that baseball never seemed like his priority. He's got way too many things going on that have to distract him (Head & Shoulders commercials, car racing, photography, his supermodel wife) and the fact he came from Texas makes him even less likeable too.

I thought he was a good signing at first. He had been a reliever much of his career so I thought there would be a lot of mileage in that arm. He seemed to have the raw talent but it also seems like he thinks too much and outsmart himself when he's in a jam. It makes me question how much he wants to pitch. I'm sure the manager and pitching coach could have helped him take his game to another level. I don't expect him to contribute much this year.

I'm no CJ fan but some posts here are pretty poor. CJ is getting surgeries and even attempted to change his arm slot. Overall the deal hasn't been great but to label him as not caring or weak because he has had injuries is pretty lame. I doubt he'll help much this year but he's not even in the conversation for Angel's worst acquisitions.

Pussy? He has had three surgeries since joining the Angels. Ever rehab after surgery? It's a bitch, most people half ass it and never really complete the program and yet he keeps doing it just so he can compete. Each time he is in pain after the cut, each time he has to do his exercise no matter what else is going on in his life, has to sweat it out every day.

 

He could take the easy route and simply say I'm done, take the money and go play with his home beer making kit. Instead he's got the desire to play enough to put in the work to get back, no matter the setbacks. You should respect that.

 

 

If he takes the easy route and says he is done, won't he forfeit this year's salary?
