All Angels fans won today

[Troll Daddy]

I don't see it that way.

[bloodbrother]

Ideally he would have been healthy and hopefully pitched well enough so they could ship him out at the deadline for anything but he's damaged goods at this point. Shoulder problems are much worse for pitchers than elbow problems are, and the dude's about to be 36 years old? Wouldn't be shocked if his career is over tbh

[zenmaster]

And this is how to get paid and not play. Seems him and his Texas brother have something in common.

Because he is a milquetoast loser that can never make a decisive decision.

Are you a complete idiot? Try going under the knife for shoulder surgery and do the 5 weeks in a sling then physical therapy  and say,  yeah that was a better idea than going to work.

Can't say I'd be in a hurry for shoulder surgery either.

[Thomas]

P.S. How does surgery and being straight edge work??

This "win" feels like winning a 2 for 1 Whopper prize.

[mtangelsfan]

Can't say I've ever been a fan of the way Wilson pitches but there sure are a lot of medical experts on here ready to tell someone when they should let a doctor cut them open with a scalpel.

No opioids for the pain. 

[Thomas]

I bet that will feel peachy.

[Second Base]

Not a win.  C.J. was an all-star for this team, and simply "good" for the other two years of his 5 year contract.

I sincerely hope C.J. is fully healed and is able to return to the major leagues next year, even if it isn't for the Angels. 

[Mark68]

Definition of "sunk cost" the last two years.

[Jason]

Honestly I'm glad I don't have to see him pitch in an Angel uni gain.

[yk9001]

Not sure how we won.  TBH, I had forgotten about him.

 

[Docwaukee]

CJ was org currency that we left in our pocket and disintegrated in the dryer.  Losing the opportunity to trade him for something of value sucks.  

[Blarg]

CJ was Confederate Currency.

[Angels#1Fan]

Not a win.

[California Cajun]

I thought that CJ was a great signing because he had previously been a reliever and felt he had a lot of mileage left for a 31 year old.   The first year seemed to bear that out but he's been fragile ever since.  

I don't think CJ will be back unless he accepts a KMart blue light special contract.  He's got that "cerebral" personality so it's hard for me to decide how much he wants to pitch.  He seems to have other interests (i.e. cars) and with financial security I wonder if he's more interested in that.  His big paydays in MLB are probably over.

[Ohtaniland]

He will be rehabbing at his buddies house in Houston. 

He will never pitch again. 

[Richard]

"I’ve been very upfront with coaches and staff about a willingness to modify my role [as a reliever], as well, and am 100-percent focused on returning to the field next season."

 

Yes, he's as bad as the guy who signed for much more money and was doing blow in his free time.

More like fool's gold.

[arch stanton]

When you consider how much this is likely to cost him next year I don't know how you can believe it's his choice. All he needed was 10-15 decent starts this year and he gets a nice 2 or 3 year deal this winter. Now he'll need to sign for incentives if he's even healthy enough to do that.
