The Holy Roller Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I am a hugh Cardinal fan and am not as upset about the move as I thought I would be. First I think this type of money would have hurt the Cards in the long term. Sure we keep him now but what about trying to stay competitive a few years from now? Second and you may call me crazy but I think we have already seen Alberts best years. This past seasons early struggles worried me a bit and he may be ready to start the slow decline. Will there be some great years ahead? Sure but I also wouldn't be at all surprised to see some duds sprinkled in as well.I will miss Pujols but for the money I think the Cardinals are more likely to be a better team long term by letting him go.

I Like Soup Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I"d be pissed if I were Pujols. ARod got better deals back in '01 and in '08... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTSuper7 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 +1 Jebus, baseball players make a lot of money. CJ2K had to hold out to get 35 mil. Pujohls gets 250mil. They have 81 home games per year in baseball vs. 8 home games in football. Lots extra seats being sold = more money to spend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking back on this thread this morning while looking over the standings. Great deal for both Pujols and the Cardinals. The Angels? Not so much!
