Pujols to the Halos

Who knows when his drop off happens

Alex Rodriguez is starting to show signs of aging at only 35.

Jeter hasn't been the same since 35 either.

Pujols will write his own story, so we can't point at other people and dictate exactly what he'll do. I'm not going to make any bold proclamations other than that he'll drop off at some point and odds are very high that point will be before the contract ends.

In fairness, ARod and Jeter play more demanding positions.

I love those videos. The first one I watched was after KU lost to UNI in the opening round of the NCAA tourny.

If he claims this wasnt about money, I'll tear his balls off myself... brilliant!

The first one I saw was the one Mission posted here with him complaining about the Reds.

That's still the best one I've seen, since it didn't try too hard to be funny and didn't appear to use the original subtitles as its template, the best example being Traudl consoling Gerda, "Don't cry, we're grilling JTM with Chris Welsh later."

According to ESPN's Jerry Crasnick, Albert Pujols will make just $12 million in the first season of his 10-year, $254 million contract with the Angels.
Pujols agreed to a backloaded deal so that the Halos could sign other talent, including left-handed starter C.J. Wilson. The contract starts at a salary of $12 million, jumps to $16 million in 2013, and will eventually reach a salary of $30 million. It's all a bit frightening for the Angels, given that Pujols will be 41 years old at the conclusion of the 10-year agreement.

What a selfish bastard!
