Angels owner Arte Moreno has done it again. That’s the second year in a row he ripped the biggest free agent on the market without anyone even knowing he had any interest at all. But really, it’s not that surprising. Not when you consider the Angels missed the playoffs after he scratched huge checks for Pujols and pitcher C.J. Wilson last year. And not after seeing what his cross town rival, the Dodgers have done this offseason. That’s just not the way this guy is wired. And he just landed a couple of haymakers on his two biggest rivals: the one in division, and the one across the street.

And this time, it really is World Championship or bust... And because of that, it says here, they’re not done yet. They don’t win a ring without another arm, and they won’t stop until they get one. Let it ride, Arte.

Derek Jeter has always gotten a free pass from the New York tabloids. Until now. The New York Post went in on him, With this! Look out! Derek Eater?! Went from “Hunk to Chunk” and took a “fork in the road to recovery.” What? No… is that Jetes or a C.C…. Blast? Weren’t feeling: Captain? More like Captain Crunch.

In his defense, dude is coming off ankle surgery and can’t run. But, he can push away from the table. And mix in a salad. Things he obviously isn’t doing.

Look, I know seeing celebrities get fat is a national obsession, but who really cares about dude’s walk around weight. He doesn’t have to get in the ring again until April. I’m sure he’ll be ready by then. Just as long as his version of the South Beach diet isn’t replacing greens and protein with gravy and pudding. I never thought I would see the day, but the future Hall of a Famer is the current Golden Corraler. Say it ain’t so, Eater.

Miguel Cabrera won Mike Trout’s MVP in a landslide. And this is one the voters got all wrong. Cabrera was the AL’s best at the plate. Trout was the best in the ballpark. Anywhere in the ballpark.. I mean, do you Cabrera honks have anything other than, ‘he won the triple crown! He won the triple crown!’ Great, so did Ted Williams. Twice. And he didn’t win the MVP either time.

Just doing something that hasn’t been done in a really long time doesn’t guarantee you the hardware. You take Cabrera’s Triple Crown; I’m going with Trout’s WAR. Wins Above Replacement: it’s a much better indicator of what a guy does for his team and what kind of a player he is. The Triple Crown measures three things: WAR measures everything.

And save your nerd smack, grandpa: and feel free to join the rest of us in 2012. You ripped the award from the best player and gave it to the best hitter. And you got it wrong.
