Re: Pujols - Whatever Happened To...?

[Lou]

Lou, he's been paid $63M, which I said in that post. $88M is prorated for the yearly average.

 

I don't know what your left field fantasy has to do with whether or not Pujols is worth the money.

 

Let me ask you a question: Would you offer Pujols that $250 million contract again?

 

that has nothing to do with this thread

 

i would, however, have agreed to pay him $63M for his 3.5 years of production

[Blarg]

In six years he'll be paid $30M. What's your point?

 

We are kind of wondering what is your's.

Are you crazy? He will bolt for free agency the moment this contract runs out, no way he re-signs.

 

i know, he'll sign with the Yankees

 

Trout's favorite team as a kid

[Angelsjunky]

That's a tough call, imo. It might be close to market value, but it is hardly "worth every penny."

 

He's at 2.4 fWAR now. Let's say he slows down a bit but plays well and finishes with 4.0. That would put him at 11.1 for $75 million. That's not far from the market value for WAR, but I personally wouldn't feel good about paying that.

That Pujols is not "worth every penny." Yes, I'm glad he's hitting well, but his contract still sucks and no matter what rosy angle Lou wants to look from, we can't separate a portion of his contract from the whole thing.

 

But yeah, I'm enjoying him mashing.

[Lou]

Defensive WAR numbers are a joke.  Making decisions based upon anything that includes

those stats isn't very wise.  

 

Pujols obviously brings a lot off the field to this team.  There's a reason why Trout is around

him every time they show him in the dugout

actually, i can separate a portion of his contract, and did so

 

his entire contract is another topic altogether

 

read my statement again:  " ...has been worth..."

Lou is at least using honest math.

[Lou]

That makes two of us.

 

Too bad the Angels paid him $250,000,000 for 2.5 years of .275/29/94 type production.

 

 

anyone?

let's say he heats up even more...

Is this volume 3?

Love the RS mention.

So, you have no answer.

[arch stanton]

It's only a $250 million contract if he plays it out. If he quits 2 or 3 years early it cuts the AAV of the money actually paid. So as Lou has pointed out, what he's done so far isn't that far out of line with what he's been paid. If he stays in the 850 range for the next few years it starts looking better.

[Lou]

I know you're saying that he hasn't been paid $25M per in actual dollars but your argument is ridiculous. Like that makes his contract any more bearable. 

 

this has nothing to do with his entire contract

 

go ahead and start a different thread if you care to discuss that topic.

 

aj will help you

[Stradling]

Of course it makes it more bearable. He was signed for more than what he does on the field.

[Lou]

i'm staying on topic

 

staying on topic means.....

 

awww, never mind

I look forward to his base running coaching expertise for youngsters at the "kids run around the bases" days when he's done playing.

"Stop sign? Mang, red means go balls to the wall!" With cardboard dummies of Ebel and Disar.

He's not gonna retire early.
