In response to "But you don't give a 31 year old player a 10 year deal, with no one bidding against you." by Jim

If it's below market rate, and it's a unique player like Pujols.....maybe you do.

He's proven to be a once-in-a-generation bat, and a plus glove.

I'm not saying it's a no-brainer to signing him to $25+M/yr, but *if* there is any player that might be worth it for the Cards, it's Pujols.

In my opinion...I say give him his $30mil/per. You just can't do it for 10 years. - Jim Feb 16, 11:57 1
- *nods* I could even see a vesting option for years 8-10 - Will Hunting Feb 16, 12:10
