Re: Pujols - Whatever Happened To...?

[Blarg]

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.

 

You can tell the difference?

Haha. I know he is overpaid over the length of his contract but I love having him part of the organization. He is a good mentor to Trout, he is good in the community, even though I can't prove it, I truly believe he is part of the reason that the TV contract is so high, which gives the team financial flexibliity. He also just happens to be a pretty damn good player.

[Stradling]

He's not gonna retire early.

Why not?

You've been on fire lately. But I'm afraid if you don't go Costanza and start walking out, you'll lose the magic.

Don't make promises you won't keep.

Bottom line is that Pujols has been worth what he's been paid SO FAR. The real question is why haven't we put better teams around him? Especially considering no one expected Trout to be this good. Payroll wise we have acted like we were paying Pujols the full $30 million when we were paying him considerably less. What will this team look like when Trout is getting paid and Albert is making the $30m and not producing at this level?

How do we know he is a good mentor to Trout? Just asking. And why is he a good mentor to Trout and not the other 24 guys.

Why wasn't he a good mentor to Mathis? What is he to Aybar, un tio?

I think he should back end some money Bobby Bonilla style, so we can still pay him in 2064. We need a happy Pujols day!

You can tell he is close to Aybar, I am sure he is a good mentor to all the players, but he and Trout have a lot in common. They both came up and were instantly great generational players. It would be tough to be a good mentor to Mathis since he never played on the same team as Mathis.

[Hollyw00d]

Why not?

A. It would be incredibly stupid on his part

B. It would conjure up a shit storm with the mlbpa that I'm sure he wants no part of

C. He doesn't care about the Angels as much as you think, he wants to get paid just like everyone else

Because Mathis was traded before Pujols became an Angel?

 

Aybar is his special friend.

Albert is very friendly with players from other teams. They both wore Angel 5. They are practically kindred spirits.

[QuinlansMinion]

Its pretty easy to see how Pujols would be a great mentor to Trout.  They are both right handed power hitters.  They both dominated at a young age and won MVPs at a young age.  They both are freaks of nature and have insanely high baseball IQ.  

[Hollyw00d]

So...no?

How bout you provide your sources, smart guy?

Ok, we will play this game. Let's say you do everything right and you save your money, you play off all of your bills and your house. You have a 401k and that will help you live comfortably the rest of your life. However you get a sizable raise your last few years of work, and you can keep working to make that same amount of money, or you could retire, because you have enough money saved to never work again. Do you retire, or do you work because you like that you make good money? Now keep in mind, Albert's 401k has $10's of millions of dollars in it.

Why would it be stupid

Players union means very little to him after he retires

Guys like you will tell you he cares about his legacy, so does he care more about his legacy or the Angels?

His source hasn't made that decision, yet.
