I said pay the man what he was worth. The Cardinals shot him a low ball short term deal. When they finally came around and decided to pay a little more it was too late. Looking at his numbers and the failuresa we have has with signings, the pujols contract should have been signed long before he hit he market.
My memory is he was asked plenty to sign early and said NO.
He was extremely coy with wanting the open market, but it was clear leaving here was a very strong option that he wanted, unlike the other lifetime Cardinal greats who played ball with the front office and retired with bats on their jerseys.
No, Albert wanted the money, he got it, and he got the Angels too. Whats funny is with that 10 year "personal services" contract he is going to have that franchise wrapped around his neck for a long long time. Is he going into the Hall wearing that forkin halo hat? Forkin California dreamin is what he's got.
