ANAHEIM, Calif. - Andrew Heaney envisions a long, prosperous future with the Los Angeles Angels. Even if he has already peaked as a tweeter.The promising left-hander had a hilarious response to getting traded twice in about five hours at the winter meetings earlier this week, going from the Miami Marlins to the Dodgers to the Angels. Heaney never even got a phone call from the Dodgers before getting flipped again.Well, @Dodgers we had a good run! Great to be part of such a storied franchise, he tweeted, adding thanksforthememories as a hashtag.The Angels have big plans for Heaney, and hes more comfortable with enormous expectations on the mound than on Twitter.Now everybody expects me to be this really funny guy, and Im like, I dont know, I dont think Im that funny, Heaney said Friday in a phone interview. All of those new followers that I picked up are probably going to be disappointed.Once his future was settled in Orange County, the 23-year-old Heaney grew excited about the prospect of playing for the majors best regular-season team last season alongside Mike Trout, Albert Pujols and right-hander Garrett Richards — a fellow native Oklahoman who cashed in on his own huge potential last year.The Angels traded second baseman Howie Kendrick to get Heaney, giving up a major veteran contributor from their lineup for a skinny left-hander who still doesnt have his first major league victory.To Heaney, thats a welcome vote of confidence after the Marlins gave him up in a seven-player deal to land Dee Gordon from the Dodgers.Personally I dont see what anybody could be negative about or be worried about, Heaney said. Im excited. I feel like any time you get traded, the team thats getting you sees something. Especially for a guy like Howie Kendrick thats been here 12 years, they value what you can bring to the team.While Kendrick has just one year left on his contract, Heaney is under the Angels control for the next six seasons.Heaney is hoping to live up to his potential after his major league career got off to a sputtering start. The Marlins top pitching prospect went 0-3 with a 5.83 ERA in his debut last season despite doing solid work at times in five starts and seven total appearances.I unfortunately learned a lot more of what not to do than to do, Heaney said, citing lessons about holding runners on base and keeping his pitches down to major-league hitters.I didnt feel like I was at my best at the time, but Im a little bit glad, he added. I think being a little bit humbled or having disappointments can be good for you.Just a few months after the Angels had almost no organizational depth in starting pitchers, general manager Jerry Dipoto has addressed the problem impressively.The rotation still features Jered Weaver, Richards, C.J. Wilson and Matt Shoemaker, and the Angels now have an array of interesting options to fill it out. Los Angeles acquired touted right-hander Nick Tropeano from Houston earlier in the off-season, while left-hander Hector Santiago will get another chance to keep a rotation spot after an inconsistent 2014. Los Angeles also still has left-hander Tyler Skaggs, who will miss 2015 after elbow ligament replacement surgery.The club will have an intense competition in spring training for the fifth spot in its rotation — or possibly the final two spots, since manager Mike Scioscia no longer expects Richards to be back from knee surgery by opening day.After one tumultuous day, Heaney looks forward to steady growth into a major-league role, hopefully starting this spring.I hope to get in there with a guy like Richards and then Weaver and really be able to pick their brains, Heaney said. Any advantage I can get moving forward to be a more productive pitcher in the big leagues is exciting for me. Im excited to learn more about what they do.

Martinezs ninth-inning sacrifice fly scored Torii Hunter with the winning run and the Detroit Tigers beat the Minnesota Twins 4-3 Sunday.MANCHESTER, England - Manchester United striker Robin van Persie will miss up to six weeks with a left knee injury, ruling the Netherlands striker out of both legs of a Champions League quarterfinal against Bayern Munich and potentially six Premier League games. It is a major blow to Uniteds hopes of winning the Champions League, which realistically is the clubs only route back into Europes top competition next season. Following a second scan on the injury on Friday, United said Van Persie has a "sprained knee which will keep him out for around 4-6 weeks." He appears to be in no danger of missing the World Cup finals in Brazil beginning in mid-June — the worst-case scenario according to Uniteds diagnosis is that Van Persie is out until the start of May, leaving him available for the last two or three league games in Uniteds season. Van Persie, who has scored 23 goals in 29 games for club and country this season, was carried off on a stretcher after hurting his knee in a challenge from behind toward the end of Wednesdays 3-0 victory over Olympiakos, in which he scored a hat trick to send his teeam into the last eight.dddddddddddd United is seventh in the Premier League after its humiliating 3-0 loss to Liverpool last weekend, 12 points adrift of fourth-place Manchester City having played two more games. A finish in the top six would qualify United for next seasons Europa League, and sixth-place Everton is three points ahead with a game in hand. It will be a second significant spell on the sidelines for Van Persie this season — he played just two games across 2 1/2 months over the turn of the year because of groin then thigh problems. The news punctures some of the optimism that has spread through Old Trafford after the victory over Olympiakos, which came just as the pressure was beginning to build on manager David Moyes. Moyes has Danny Welbeck and Javier Hernandez as alternatives up front to partner Wayne Rooney. Otherwise, Moyes could decide to play Rooney as his main striker and move Juan Mata, signed in January for a record fee of 37.1 million pounds ($61.2 million), into his favoured No. 10 role just in behind. Mata has played out wide in recent games, to little effect.
