Cards lock up Pujols
I don't know if he's really 24, or 34, but I'm glad we locked this cat up for 7 years. $100 mil seems fair, especially since I'm sure its heavily backloaded.

Re: Cards lock up Pujols
7 years? why? every player hits their prime at 27. Which is why Soriano is on the decline.
And I had no idea that Soriano is the same age as A-Rod. -AA

"every player hits their prime at 27"
Some guy named Bonds might disagree with you. I'm not sure of your point, even if it was correct (which it isn't). Is your point that they should have just gone to arbitration with him for the next 3 years and then lose him since by then he'll be "27" and over the hill?

Re: Cards lock up Pujols
I think his point was just that generally, players experience their best seasons when they are between 27 and 29 years of age. It's been shown in a number of ballplayers to be true. This of course doesn't mean he won't put up big numbers after 29, but there's a good chance that his years before 30 will be a lot better than after 30. And c'mon Clarky, you know Bonds is as huge an anomaly as you can get. But even taking Bonds as an example, before he went bonkers in 2001, his best year (OPS-wise) was.... when he was 29.

Re: Cards lock up Pujols
I think you are adding way way more than what he was trying to say. Besides, the contract goes til he is 30. Hardly an old man.

Re: Cards lock up Pujols
Cool. I'm tentatively arriving next Thurs about 10pm and leaving sometime on Sunday. Dynasty and Majorkong should be in tow. There's still like a 10% chance its a no-go, but its looking firmer by the day.
