And the riots in St Louis begin just like when LeBron left Cleveland

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Interesting. I gotta admit that the Angels is a surprise to me.

 

[03EBZ06]

Wow, didn't see this coming. Yeah, there will be lot of hate toward the team's front office for while.

 

[cowboyeric8]

****! I don't want to see that guy multiple times during the season.

 

[Joe Realist]

He will be able to make the move to DH in 5 years

 

[YosemiteSam]

He is a great hitter, but no players is worth that much money.

Hmm. Does this mean Wilson is out in Anaheim? If so, I guess he is going to Miami since they offered him six years and the Rangers refuse too. Bet he hates that.

Goodbye St Louis. You're hating it. :laugh2:

I wouldn't even care if I was a St. Louis fan. They got a ring with him.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Wow, that's a lot of money...

Two of them, in fact. Which meant it was time to get paid. If the Cards' offer had come close, I'm sure he would have stayed. But you can't leave $50M on the table.

Your old buddy AROD got that same money 10 years ago?

Pujols got ripped off...


AROD reupped and got $27.5 per year 2nd time around??

Nope, he signed for 5 years 77million with them as well.

 

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

Damn talk about overpaying. St. Louis was smart not to match that.

I'm damn happy Tom Hicks is gone. The Yankees were absolute fools for resigning A-Roid for that money. He isn't worth it.

 

[03EBZ06]

AROD made $32 Million in 2011 season.

That contract for Pujols is crazy for a 31 year old coming off a season in which he faced a sharp decline at the plate. I bet that contract will hurt them some

That being said, I don't know if I like what this spells out for Texas in the short run. Wonder what will become of Marc Trumbo?

He was injured early part of last season and seemed like the injury lingered on.

He was injured. He wasn't in decline.

 

[reddyuta]

This is a total surprise,i didnt even know the angels were serious contenders for pujols.

 

[JackWagon]

looks like the Wells contract taught them nothing.

I want to keep our farm system and just plug in the new kids coming up.
