Ok, seriously...would anyone here like to see their team give Albert 10 years at $30/mil per?

Posted by Jim (aka Jim) Feb 14 '11, 06:19

I never want to see Albert play anywhere but St. Louis...but I think a 10 year $300/mil contract cripples the organization in a way that'll take another decade to recover from.

He's 31 years old...and steroids are out of the game. The days of players hitting 40 homers a year into their 40s is gone now.

He's likely got 5-6 great (to good) seasons left in him.

Thoughts?

with the sox and yanks presumably out, i think the cards are absolutely doing the right thing here. - TFox Feb 14, 06:41 2
- This is what I'm thinking. I mean the Texas deal for ARod is what fucked up the landscape so bad in the first place... - Jim Feb 14, 06:51 1
  - don't get me wrong: if that's what it ends up taking, i absolutely think you should give it to him. - TFox Feb 14, 06:55

I for one look forward to him being in the AL East. -- nm - Ender Feb 14, 06:25 1
- I actually still think he'll stay in St. Louis...I just hope it's not with a 10 year deal. -- nm - Jim Feb 14, 06:29
oooh! oooh! *raises hands* -- nm - Junior Steinbrenners Feb 14, 06:24
