tough to argue with that kind of logic.

so you're retracting your earlier comment that its a given he won't be the best player in the league?

BTW...best player in the league is extremely subjective.

I hope so to, throw 10 years and 300 mil at him, then enjoy once he breaks down and you have another albatross contract on your hands.

If Pujols doesn't sign with the Cards I hope he breaks the bank for the Cubs.

Not really. I stand by my older comment, because he won't be the best player in the league. Is there a slight chance that it is possible? Maybe. But I'm saying now he won't be the best player in the league in 2016 or 2017. You can quote me on that.

Heck, you'll find a lot of people saying he wasn't the best player in the league LAST season.

I hope he becomes a free agent, the Dodgers get a new owner, then go after him. A boy can dream can't he?

Albert would be nice but if you are a Dodgers fan a new owner would be the best new addition the team could possibly hope for.
