Homecoming for Former Baron C.J. Wilson?

Angels fans would love to see the team break the bank to bring in free agent Albert Pujols. But barring that, the best—and most realistic—upgrade the team could hope to make might be right in its own backyard.

Free-agent pitcher C.J. Wilson, who played his high school ball in Fountain Valley for the Barons, has reportedly shown "serious interest" in coming home to pitch for the Angels, the Orange County Register reported Monday.

Wilson could certainly be a good fit for the Angels, who already have one of the best starting rotations in baseball. He could even come at a relative discount after an underwhelming postseason, and he would come with the added bonus of having been signed away from division rival Texas.
