Yes, I'd most definitely pay A-Rod when Texas did, then Pujols now, not even close. A-Rod hit 52 57 and 47 in his 3 years in Texas.

Re: The Hot Stove League Thread
I'm happy we got Pujols and CJ...****ing ecstatic! I just always have despised the Yankees because all they do is go out and buy the best players and spend lots of money and that's exactly what we did here.Comment

Re: The Hot Stove League Thread
So what? It's allowed in the rules of the game, so the Yankees/Red Sox/Angels all have that ability to do that.Comment

Re: The Hot Stove League Thread
I wouldn't
As a yankee fan i can say that was the old Yankees.
Cahsman is looking to get out from under the umbrella of bad contract signings, thanks to AJ and the possible albatross of A-Rods [and possibly tex's] big deals.
Once u start overpaying, it becomes a trend, plus other teams will learn to try to rape you in trades and agents will use u to jack up their clients prices.Comment

Re: The Hot Stove League Thread
I'll preface this by saying I'm definitely no life long Angel fan (I like them yes, but I'm no hardcore Angel fan).
But when deals like this are announced (usually the Yankees making these types of deal often it seems) what amuses me even more is the Ire it draws from "true" fans of the sport. More so from the fans of the team the guy is leaving.
Dumb move or not, money well spent or not, honestly why does it matter? It's Arte's money, not ours. Guys that demand that big a contract are going to go to whoever is willing to pay it (not always obviously, but more times than not).Comment

Re: The Hot Stove League Thread
Comparison based on facts: The contracts for both Rodriguez/Park and Pujols/Wilson are similar in a lot of ways, and could play out both in the same fashion.Rangers - Cowboys - Aggies - Stars - Mavericks

Re: The Hot Stove League Thread

Or it doesn't apply when its ur team.

Re: The Hot Stove League Thread
No complaints here. Get your money, Winnie.
I don't like the Yankees overspending either, but it's definitely nice to know we'll always be in it. As a baseball fan I hate it for other teams; as a Yankees fan, I love it."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace
