    Indeed. Which is sad, because I like the Angels a lot. They're gonna ruin baseball for me next. Already ruined basketball.

    I'm sad Pujols left Baseball Heaven to come to a region of the country where people only act like they give a damn about you. Though, to be fair, Anaheim is much better than the Dodgers in that regard.

      I'll say it, the Angels better win the WS in the next 3 years or this will be the worse contract ever. 10 years for a guy who is supposedly 31 and his numbers are on the decline (still very good, but on the decline) is crazy. CJ made a lot of money as well, but who knows with him, Buehrle kind of set that market so high.

          If you wanted Albert, you had to go 10 years.

          The ball was in his court and you gotta pay up and play by his rules to get the best player in baseball. Strictly a business decision on Albert's part and I can't blame him. $250 million with no opt out clauses and what not? You'd be a fool to not sign.

              Doesn't matter who got him, 10 years for Albert is just dumb.

                The contract Wilson is getting to be a third starter is infinitely worse than the length and numbers for Pujols. Pujols is going to make the Angels a ****load of money. They'll be fine.

                  Chances Albert Pujols gets a statue outside Busch Stadium decreased by 100% today.

                    My team has become the west coast Yankees. Not sure if I like that or not.

                      You better like it because it's well within the rules and 25 other teams would kill to have an owner that spends.

                        BTW someone mentioned that Boras will push hard for Fielder to get 10 years. Well, he may try as hard as he can but I don't see it. If GMs hold the fort I see Fielder fetching 6 years at the most. The market for Fielder is actually very slim with Chicago, Milwaukee, maybe Miami, Texas and the Blue Jays being a real long shot.

                        Everything i've heard seems to indicate 6 years for him and nothing more.

                          Why? Because they are spending money to get the fanbase excited? Are people really getting upset that their team is spending money now? ****, I wish the Dodgers had money to do something, I would welcome Albert's terrible contract with open arms to my team.

                            I gave you my sources. Go back and read my post. ESPN and MLBN are both discussing it.

                            My "informed opinion" is not much different than yours, comparing the CJ/Pujols signings to the Park/Arod signing.

                              I'd gladly swap. You can have Ian Stewart, a ghost at 2nd base and a rotation consisted of potential bullpen candidates.
