Hypothetically.....he has (by my poor math) 165 million owing on his contract starting next year...plus the 10 year personal service deal with Arte (whatever that is).....if a contender were desperate right now for some right handed pop (almost have to be an AL team because I'm not sure he could play 1b).....How much would you eat of the 165 million to move him?...Long shot, I know and I'm not advocating it....He certainly isn't Hamilton but it would be nice to have maybe half of that money to spend on re-tooling....

2nd best offensive  player on the team and we need to dump him.

He should lose a lot of weight.  He's pretty heavy.

Albert's legs will never be completely healthy for an entire season.  He could stand to lose 20lbs and see if it helps.  

Trying a salad every now and then wouldn't hurt.

i could have predicted your answer....Yes, he is....but he's also owed a boat load of money and it was merely a hypothetical....

[zenmaster]

Last year - Albert sucks. Leaves everyone stranded on base. Can't handle pressure situations. Not clutch. 

 

This year - Albert sucks. Risp and RBIs are false stats. He doesn't play D And hits too many homers and not enough doubles and triples.

First, you are all fucktards.  Second, this season sucks.

No one us doubting that he is over paid.  However before we "eat" money and possibly trade him let's ask this question:  Who replaces hin?

$30 mil to spend on replacing .259 .322 .763 OPS 109 OPS+?

I like our chances...

How the fuck does Blarg have as many likes as I do? You people are fucking stupid and should probably play with your fucking wieners in fucking traffic.

Albert has been very productive this year on a very bad team and for what ever reason his WAR doesn't reflect it. It's one reason I don't put a lot of stock in it not to mention it's flawed. Not that it isn't useful because it is, WAR is just one tool in the box but the constant use of it as though it's the holy grail is nonsense imo. 
 

The Angels have one of the worst records in baseball and you are surprised Albert's WAR is so low?

Those two are not mutually exclusive.

I like Blarg's posts, but I liked yours too so I'm an equal opportunity liker. Whenever I have the opportunity...

 

Oh, never mind.

It's like you're the Gary Johnson of this board and Blarg is the Donald Trump.

i know it's hypothetical but it'll never happen, arte has already put nonrefundable deposits down for the 3000 hit and 700 homerun parties.

I admire Pujols's work ethic.

We are better with him right now, that's for sure....but we could also "retool" with some of the money he is owed...You replace him with a DH since he's not playing 1b anymore....Escobar or sign somebody....Not very realistic that he could be moved but younevetknow.....
