Pujols

[packs]

Well, who is your ace? Who is your closer? The closest thing the Angels had to an ace while Pujols had been on the team was Jered Weaver, a guy who strikes out no one. I can't think of anyone the Angels have developed through the farm in the last 5 years on the pitching side. Garrett Richards had one good year. Ervin Santana left the year Pujols arrived. There hasn't been much else.

Speaking of pitching, the worst move that the Angels have made is letting Zack Greinke leave while at the same time signing Hamilton. Look how they've each performed since then, and the Angels could have kept Greinke for the money they threw away on Hamilton.

100-- as sorry as I was to see Pujols head west, I was relieved when he turned down the Cardinals last offer because in my view it is the reason they have been back to the Series since the trade and he never has. If it had not been for the 10 year service contract on top of the player contract I had hoped he would eventually finish his career back in St Louis

Hope when he does go in the Hall it is as Red Bird

That was all Albert's fault too!

And the Cardinals apparently have a tired catcher as well

But more the important question is whether the corrected version of the 2001 Topps Pujols card really exists

Although it APPEARS they`ve wised up a BIT, meaning it`s not simply buying anyone, the Angles approach reminds me of the Washington Redskins. Anaheim willl Spend spend spend without any real reason, but maybe I should shut the hell up coming from the land of David Price/Sandoval/"fill in the blank cuban prospect" etc etc. Sandoval 50 mill, out the door is just the latest example of the ole "Bosox" mentality coming back to haunt them. Next up Price, who it appears more every day, can`t pitch in Boston. Well there`s ONLY about 150 balloons left on that gem, $ 10.50 12 once drafts and 100.00 to park here we come !

and injury has plagued him this season. Had he gotten the same number of inn as 2016 he'd be above 3 fWAR. That's pretty good.
