Harry Chappas Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 8, 2011 -> 09:40 AM) Would you rather rely on Freese, Craig, and Jay, or Beckham, Rios, and Dunn to be key offensive producers. That Holliday deal in particular now looks awful. I assume the Cardinals realized that he was going to be gone as they were not going to pay him over $22M a year for 10 years. That lineup is still pretty good and the rotation is solid. Oh and they have $20M to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Holliday deal in particular now looks awful. Freese, Craig, & Jay probably. I'm not saying that their offense won't miss a beat without him. But to use the term "completely screwed" is wrong. They can still compete for the NL Central in 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 The Cardinals should go all-in on Prince Fielder. You'd be buying a guy who still has his prime ahead of him on a 10 year deal that will be cheaper and end at the appropriate time. This would be a best-case scenario for St. Louis.

Swingandalongonetoleft Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 January 2011 How about the Angels? I saw an article somewhere and posted about it in the off-season catch all thread. They missed out on their targets this year, maybe once the cost of Crawford and others got too much for them they decided to hold off and throw the bank at Pujols next year. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...03#entry2315322 :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxsider11 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Now that they signed cj wilson too they have spent 325 mil in a day. Yikes. Also they owe 18 mil to torii next season and 22 mil to vernon wells. Not to mention 14 mill for weaver. 13 mil for haren and 12 mil to ervin santana.

Milkman delivers Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) One thing I can say for sure is that this poster will be experiencing schadenfreude when Pujols suffers an injury, which is almost assured with a contract like this.

Kendrys at dh pujols first but then where do abreu and trumbo go? While they are in the spending mood they should just take rios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure Morales is no longer in their plans. That injury in 2010 looks to be career threatening. They'll probably just non-tender him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
