Torres for Pagan, how thrilling. Still, prepare ye SF:
Pagan's low baseball IQ, including consistently missing cutoff men and throwing to the wrong base, often agitated Mets officials.

He probably won't be the highest-paid Angel in 2012.
― Andy K, Thursday, 8 December 2011 15:14 (twelve years ago) link
i'm kind of relieved.
<3 pujols (performance on the field), but the thought of paying him $20 million plus when he's 38, 39, 40, 40+ years old is just ridiculous.
― Z S, Thursday, 8 December 2011 15:15 (twelve years ago) link
damn, they're giving him 250

10/250. yikes.

he could perform at that level, but i wouldn't have given him that much
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 15:25 (twelve years ago) link
i'm sure he'll be worth it for maybe 5 years - but what is the best production MLB has seen from a 40 yr old?
― sir thermo of thinwall, Thursday, 8 December 2011 15:41 (twelve years ago) link
Bonds I'm thinkin'
― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 8 December 2011 15:46 (twelve years ago) link
if they get CJ Wilson their payroll is in red sox territory.
best production at 40 is probably someone like hank aaron or barry?
― mayor jingleberriez, Thursday, 8 December 2011 15:46 (twelve years ago) link
Ted Williams: .328/.458/.584, 4.8 WAR (fell off a cliff at 41 tho)
― sir thermo of thinwall, Thursday, 8 December 2011 15:57 (twelve years ago) link
i think it was a lose-lose for STL, maybe this is the best-case scenario out of the two difficult choices? i could see the dude falling off quicker than 5 years, tbh.

dodgers traded dana eveland to the orioles to get back some of that pr juice from the angels. suck it arte!
― mayor jingleberriez, Thursday, 8 December 2011 16:04 (twelve years ago) link
this contract isn't really about how bad he plays in his 40s, it's really about whether he's gonna be good enough in the next 4 or 5 years to offset that -- and that's still possible
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 16:07 (twelve years ago) link
everyone is saying that cj to the angels is a done deal
cj to the angels for 5/75

It was weird that SBN had the Cubs as the other rumored Pujols contender last night. Why would Theo go near such a contract?

my coworker is convinced Pujols is actually 34, btw. not a lot of guys playing at 44 to compare!
― sir thermo of thinwall, Thursday, 8 December 2011 16:13 (twelve years ago) link
Thomas was pretty productive at 39, I think.
Passan has been bringing up A-Rod, like that is the one comparison to make.
― Andy K, Thursday, 8 December 2011 16:14 (twelve years ago) link
and i agree that the contract isn't about how he'll play at 40-42... right now. but in 7/8 years it will be.
