Johnny DGAFotella: Angels' 2nd baseman Johnny Giavotella is a walking shot of adrenaline

Johnny Giavotella doesn't care, dude. He doesn't care that he never really stuck in Kansas City, a team that is now one of the AL's premium organizations. Johnny Giavotella doesn't care that he was a afterthought when coming into the Halos' spring training, a blip on the radar to make the squad let alone be the starting second baseman. Johnny Giavotella apparently doesn't even care about waking up one day and seeing double vision, then being diagnosed with fourth nerve palsy.

Perhaps "care" is the wrong word, but the fact remains that Johnny Giavotella has had a laundry list of hurdles to overcome just to get to this spot, where he's the living, breathing embodiment of "clutch" and "spark" on the Angels, and he's sat each and every one of those hurdles down, looked them in the eye and said "I don't give a f***".
