up until two months ago i thought Buerhle was overrated!

shit
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
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 15:15 (twelve years ago) link
well now!
― William (C), Thursday, 8 December 2011 15:16 (twelve years ago) link

this + Wells = how can they afford to pay anybody else on their team?!
― sir thermo of thinwall, Thursday, 8 December 2011 15:20 (twelve years ago) link
apparently they signed a new tv deal that may bring in as much as 150m a year
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 15:22 (twelve years ago) link
10/250. yikes.
― cad, Thursday, 8 December 2011 15:23 (twelve years ago) link
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
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 16:09 (twelve years ago) link
It was weird that SBN had the Cubs as the other rumored Pujols contender last night. Why would Theo go near such a contract?
― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 8 December 2011 16:10 (twelve years ago) link
The Angels are the new Marlins
(and by new I mean "today's")
― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 8 December 2011 16:11 (twelve years ago) link
man. this team stealing the Marlin's thunder. just trying to figure out their finances is boggling my mind right now.
xpost - drive the price up for the Cards?

just for fun i looked up other well-known players 40 yr stats...
Hank Aaron: .268/.341/.491, 2.4 WARBonds: .362*/.609*/.812*, 11.9 WAR!!!Ty Cobb .339/.408/.511, 1.7 WARWillie Mays: .271/.425/.482, 6.4 WARFrank Robinson: .237/.385/.508, 1.0 WARFrank Thomas: .240/.349/.374, -0.1 WARHonus Wagner: .252/.317/.317, 4.2 WARStan Musial: .275/.354/.486 1.9 WAR

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.
― sir thermo of thinwall, Thursday, 8 December 2011 16:16 (twelve years ago) link
pujols is getting elite money when he could be entering his "very, very good but no longer all-time great" phase.
― son, Thursday, 8 December 2011 16:20 (twelve years ago) link
Now there's a rumor about a Bailey-Trumbo-others deal.

yeah... i'm not sure if we'll ever find out if there was a third team in there or not. i don't think the cubs needed to be bidding the cardinals up considering what the marlins and angels were doing
