I think it'd be dumb for both albert and the marlins.

why ?? lol

for 1/4 of a billion....It would take me about a second and a half.

 

[wolverine304]

But for 10yrs? I doubt once albert gets up there around 37 he won't be near the same player.

And for albert, why would you go from a world series team to a crap team. Just for money.

crap ??

Reyes , Hanley , Heath Bell , Albert possibly CJ Wilson....Marlins wont be crap in 2012

What about their pitching

 

[tomdalton22]

I don't believe Pujols is 31...he is probably more like 34-35. In 3 years he will be a an above average player. In 5 years he will be average. Years 7-10 he will be a liablity on the field and at the plate....not even considering what he will do to their payroll in years 5-10.

 

[batcave76]

As great as he is, he's past was is historically considered his prime. I'm sure he will have another few years of very good production but a 10 yr contract? Shows that if your team sucks you have to over pay for talent.

 

[Rebbiv]

What about their pitching

Josh Johnson

Ricky Nolasco

Anibal Sanchez

Chris Volstad

signed Heath Bell...9th inning is locked down.

Obv the Marlins would be much improved but I wouldn't be printing WS tickets. Far from it. Look what happened to their basketball team.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Damn man. And when they win a WS they all get unloaded. Wish the Tigers rolled like that.

Pujols is a beast, but I'm not interested for 10yrs. As was already said, I highly doubt he's 31, and you're gonna hand him an A-Rod type deal. How's that looked for the Yankees?

Miami should be great for the next couple years, but 3-4yrs from now when Reyes' speed starts to go and Pujols turns 40, and HanRam hits 300lbs, these deals are gonna look awful.

From 2008-2010, NY only paid $50.7 Mil, where TEX paid $21.32 while he played for NYY.

Yep, but NYY was stupid enough to up his deal once more and foot the entire bill from here on out. ARod is a good player, but that deal is awful.

Beyond that, Miami ain't the Yankees either. New York has sooooo much more revenue that it's ridiculous. They can actually afford to have a terrible deal like that. Miami is gonna turn big-time, but they are never gonna be the Yankees.

Well then they should be printing WS tickets. Just not etching their name on the trophy.
