Cardinals Fans

The mets are broke I thought...I don't know if they are in contention for pujols. The other 3 definitely are not going for him either. I find it funny that every cub fan I talk baseball to up here has to gloat about how pujols will be a cub next season. Every time I hear that I can't help but think that it would make sense solely because it would continue the long heralded tradition the cubs have of signing players to contracts that overpay and are overly-long. Pujols would fit that description to a T. If the cubs want to pay a guy 30 million that is 38, 39, 40, 41, 42 years old more power to them. That's right Pujols contract would take him to 42 years old..half of the contract would be above the age that most stats drop significantly below career norms.

GET IT DONE CUBS!

The only possibility would have to be like Anaheim in the AL where he can DH....

but still way too long...

Lol. I think that Pujols has 5-6 quality years left in him. That being said, I think that Albert ends up with a 10 year deal with the Cardinals and the Cubs end up with Prince Fielder. --assuming that the Brewers let Fielder go--

If he does end up with the cardinals I have sincere doubts he will get 10 years. If the cardinals do end up giving him that then the value of the contract must be less than 25 mil per year...cardinals simply cannot afford it and shouldn't pay it. We are on the same page he has 5 years about of quality; I don't think it will be like the Pujols we've seen in years past but it will be solid. Then the other half of the contract will just be a money pit while watching his career wind down. He'll play 2 to 3 extra years after the "he should have retired" point. I just don't see Pujols going to a team that plans on using him as a DH. He's a gold glove first baseman. I also don't see many teams offering him 10 years; he'll be FORTY-TWO YEARS OLD, and that is if he is the actual age he says he is, there has always been concerns with hispanic players and the accuracy of their ages.
