More on Pujols

A text message conversation with my father-in-law helps sum up nicely my feelings on the Pujols deal. My words are in green.

I don't have to rationalize this with myself. Dodgers signed an eight-year deal with a 27-year old 2011 MVP (in my reality), and Angels signed an already-aging "32"-year old (do we really know? do we?) Pujols to a ten-year deal. Hell, even Barry Zito is looking at that deal and saying it's bad for the long term.
