MUDRUNNER Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Looks like he's headed west to Anaheim. Cards supposedly offered 220 million for 10 years, and apparently that wasn't good enough. He went to the Angels for 254 million for 10 years with a no-trade clause. I loved his time in St. louis, but now they have some money freed up to fill some holes for next season. 254 million is way to much for a mid market team to tie up in one player. I just can't see a guy of his size playing top notch baseball into his 40's consistently without injuries, but we'll see. I was hoping he would do the right thing and stay in St. Louis for a little less money, but he chose the path of other sports stars and went were the money is.

Tominator Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Nature of the business these days. There's no loyalty anywhere, can't hardly blame the guys who leave though, that's a lot of money. I think Albert had DHin'g in the back of his mind too. I don't see the Angels playing him in the field too much. 20+million to swing a bat. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gzilla45 Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Completely agree on the DH topic. In 5-6 years he'll only have to swing the bat for the Halos. Good move on his part I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
