There's nothing I like more than someone who points out grammatical errors in an online chat. Well done, sir.33anda3rd wrote:This is a first for me: I'm going to defend the Pujols deal as not being that bad.
First of all, "I would rather...." Mr. Writer Man.I rather lose $50 than get $5 back of $100.
How much did the Angels pay for that 6.9 WAR, out of interest? You're placing your marker in a very strange place to make a point and I'm not sure why.

Kevin Brown gave 27.4 wins over the life of that contract including three seasons over six wins.Joe Shlabotnik wrote:Kevin Brown - 7/100 in 1999. First 100 million dollar contract.

I didn't want that contract at the time, but I said, "it's not as bad as it looks because of the deferrals."
No, Lance, it's absolutely worse than it looks.
That contract was pretty much a steal.
