He can say it all he wants but we all know the truth now. He's a greed prick. I hope he never wins again.cardsfantx wrote:So torii hunter was on MLB network and said Pujols called him.

Really Albert? We just won the freakin world series and have wainwright coming back. Really ablest? Really??
I like the optimism.AWvsCBsteeeerike3 wrote:Let's look at it this way. okay......
Wano is going to offset the decline in the rotation that will happen from 2011.
The bullpen will be better. Say a couple wins.
Berkman replaces pujols. Loss of a couple wins.
OF stays the same. Maybe a win or two better with Craig.
Infield outside 1B improves a couple wins if they resign Furcal and keep Theriot out of SS and Freese stays healthy....
I don't feel too bad. Use that $$ for whatever glaring hole they see *cough* SS/2B *cough*
I am not feeling too bad.
Obvious KEY positions: John Jay, Allen Craig, 2B, SS
Well if you consider that with Albert's contract a team like the Angels can still supplement their team with other superstars. Not saying that the cardinals can't or wouldnt do that (Holliday) but realistically if he took the Cardinals offer of 22+/-M then it would be a lot tougher to resign Wainwright, resign Molina etc, they don't have gaping holes at 2B and SS. The Angels have a ton of revenue and the ability to expand that revenue (TV contract) that will help them be more competitive. Also playing in a division with the Mariners and A's as half the teams in the division makes it a lot easier (and the Astros moving there doesn't change it from basically a 2 team division)cardsfantx wrote:So torii hunter was on MLB network and said Pujols called him.

Now, the Angels do have a very good 3(Weaver/Haren/Wilson) but come on.cardsfantx wrote:So torii hunter was on MLB network and said Pujols called him.

Helluva point, Mike.mikechamp wrote:Silver lining on this potentially cloudy day:
Would you have rather had Pujols on your team for the first 11 years of his career, or the last 10 years of his career?
