bjorn_skurj Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Boston should be saving their pennies - they NEED Pujols if they're going to compete in the AL East at any point in this decade. Link to post Share on other sites
KevinG Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 $30 million a year is what I am reading. is there any way the Cards don't sign him? Cause I would love to see him pay anywhere but the NL Central. Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Brewers sweep Pirates scoring 36 runs to Pirates 1. I know it is the Pirates and they aren't good but that is impressive.The last game of that series was won 20-0. Last night the two teams met again for a second series, and the Brewers scored 17. Over four games, the Brewers have outscored the Pirates 53-4, and twice destroyed Zach Duke. After that ugly series against the Cubs, the Brewers must have been thrilled to see Pittsburgh again...

Smokestack Joe Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 if the red sox dont get Pujols, they will have a chance at Prince Fielder. He is looking to strike a big contract, similar to Howard. Brewers can't afford it nor should they. He could be Mo Vaughn No.2 only way better. Link to post Share on other sites

Brewers can't afford it nor should they. He could be Mo Vaughn No.2 only way better.Boras is Fielder's agent, so an extension for him is unlikely. Let's not forget the other free agent 1B of '11, Adrian Gonzalez. If the Red Sox can't land Gonzalez, they're sure to be wet for Fielder. Link to post Share on other sites

bobbob1313 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 really old? I think the ageless wonder Jamie ("Walken") Moyer might skew the average......what ARE the averages anyway? anyone know the average team age/ rank??? Looking at their starting lineup: C Carlos Ruiz 311B Ryan Howard 302B Chase Utley 31SS Jimmy Rollins 313B Placido Polanco 34 (And under contract for 3 years. Yikes.)LF Raul Ibanez 38CF Shane Victorino 29RF Jayson Werth 31 That's really old as far as a long term offensive core goes. That being said, they've got a lot of money coming off the books soon, and as an organizational strategy, waiting to call guys up until they are like 25 and ready to kill people at the big league level (like they did with guys like Utley, Howard, and to a lesser extent Werth and Victorino) is pretty smart.

Ibanez has one more season on contract after this one, but I don't know if he has any kind of trade clause. He'll be valuable short-term DH material if he puts up decent numbers again this year.

Smokestack Joe Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 best wishes to Bob Uecker. He has been involved in my Brewer life since it started. I love putting on the radio, sit on the porch, have a beer(s), and listen to Uecker call games. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ordinary Beehive Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Cards have GOT to sign him, even if it means selling half of Missouri to Kansas. This. By the end of his career, Pujols will rank near the top of the list of the greatest baseball players of all time. The Cards have to do whatever it takes to keep him in St. Louis.

KevinG Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Changes have been made to the All Star Game, including having the DH every season. Worst idea ever. I hate the DH. And plus the game should not matter. who cares if it ends in a tie? Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I hate the DH too, but I like it for the All Star game. I don't want to see guys walk to the plate and not swing the bat in the all star game. Come on. Link to post Share on other sites
The High Heat Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Worst idea ever. I hate the DH. And plus the game should not matter. who cares if it ends in a tie?It's going to start with this, then eventually it will be all DH all the time and maybe interleague at all times (or a uniform league). Pitchers are far too valuable to let them to continue to be subjected to hitting and running the bases. At some point the NL will have the weigh that value over the cost of another slugger. I'm not a proponet (or opponet) of this, but it's headed that way in the due course of the business of baseball. Link to post Share on other sites

It is to the point teams pay guys so much they don't want them to get hurt, which is protecting their investment, and I see that, but it really affects the integrity of the game. what is next not allowing slides cause guys might break a finger? It is a game, there are risks. Link to post Share on other sites
