Who would you rather have seen the Cardinals try to sign last season......Matt Holliday for $120 million over 7 years or Albert for $20-25 million for the same length of time? I know what I would have rather seen.
Albert Pujols has been one of the MOST UNDERPAID players in baseball for his numbers the past few years. He deserves to get paid. The Cardinals bring in 3 million folks a year to sell beer, nachos, T-shirts, and soda's to. #5 is the reason that 3 million folks drag their ass to the ballpark.
And you assume Albert won't put up good numbers his final 10 years???? Hell, I will take 7 more years of Albert and his numbers and then let him retire. I don't see Albert playing if he is not competative. Even 5 years of the regular Albert and 2 shitty years.
