I find if fascinating that Albert Pujols is a free agent after the 2011 season and I have heard more talk about nondescript middle relievers than Pujols this off season. Rumor is it will be tough to get Pujols to sign an extension after Spring Training starts. Outside of Barry Bonds, Pujols and Alex Rodriguez are without a doubt the dominant two hitters of the past decade. It seems incomprehensible the Cardinals would risk losing him. With 20+ million dollar contracts being doled out like candy. It would be hard to imagine the soon to be 31 year old Pujols getting anything less than 30 million per season in the 8-9 year range. GULP!
