So Albert Pujols gave the Cardinals until spring training to work out a new deal with him. If not, he's gonna become a free agent after this season.

Do you believe him?

No. I can buy that he wants to have a deadline for a new deal before putting it aside and focusing on the season, but after the season he'll re-sign with the Cardinals.

The Cards literally have no choice in the matter. When his career is over he might be a Top 5 player of all time. Gotta keep him even though he may want 10 years and, dare I say, $300 million.

Ever since A-Rod was able to get a $300 million deal, Pujhols agent has been using that against the Cards who want to give him a big deal but nothing that long.

No way he'd actually leave the Cards but him as a DH in an AL club could solve the problem of the later part of the years since all he'd need to do is hit.

I'll give the Os a B-

New and Improved infield of Reynolds/Hardy/Roberts/Lee
New closer in Kevin Gregg, and bullpen help in Accardo

But no veteran starting pitcher and they lost Ty Wigginton who I feel would have been nice as a bench player with his versatility but it was pretty obvious he was leaving.

The offense should be greatly improved and if the pitching is as effective as it was late last year under Showalter then I might be wrong about wanting a veteran SP.

I honestly think Pujols will take a Mauer like deal. I dont see him wanting to go anywhere else. Just seems like the type of guy that wants to stay with one team his whole career.

Hanso's got it right, me thinks. Pujols means a lot to that town, but I think the Cards mean a lot to Albert as well. I think he's worth ARod money, and he will likely be a top 5 all time player if he continues his pace and stays healthy.

I don't think he's going to take a major discount though. He could easily command $25mil per year over the next 5 to 7 years.

Cards locked him up way early in his career. Kinda like what the Rockies are doing now with CarGo and Tulo. He signed an 8-year $111 million contract in '04.

I don't know why, but I look at Albert Pujols, and he's a great hitter, don't get me wrong, terrific ballplayer...but he looks to me like a hitter that will have one of his usual big seasons one year, and then the year after that will start to get injuries and will start to slow down, and basically all of a sudden, "overnight" is you will, is going to be worn out and age quickly. Similar to what has happened to Manny Ramirez, and what happened to Sosa.

Sosa isn't anywhere near the caliber of ball player Pujols is. And yea, what you described is pretty much how it works when a player is entering their mid 30s.

He's still just 31. Outside of minor elbow issues, he hasn't really battled much injuries in his career and has played at least 143 games every year of his career. Moving him to 1st base has only prolonged his career as he won't have the wear and tear he would've endured playing the outfield or 3rd base.

I think he's going to be extremely productive for the next 5 years. Once his hits 35 and beyond, the numbers will undoubtedly drop off, but that doesn't mean he's going to all of a sudden fall of a cliff.

Think he will what? Fall of a cliff offensively? I really have my doubts. He won't be having 45HR seasons in 6 or 7 years, but he will still be a middle of the order threat, IMO.

He's just one of those players that comes around a couple times a generation that, when healthy, becomes one of the greatest ever. And he is going to be the most prolific homerun hitter since ARod.

Looks like he is, it says he was born January 16, 1980. He certainly looks older than 31, and if it wasn't for the fact he went to High School and College in the States, I would think there was something fishy.

Gorzelanny's got really good makeup, but hasn't yet put it together consistently at the big league level. Low risk, high reward potential here, especially when you consider that he's under team control until 2014.

Why are you sad about Andruw Jones on a 1 year deal? For one it's not like he is gonna be a starter. I think if Jones signs he will be a bench guy. And besides it's only a 1 year deal.

I'd rather give Golson a chance.

3G coverage in the outfield when Swisher needs a day off.

Personally I would of preferred Golson or the other CC as the 4th outfielder myself. But, I'm sure all 3 of them will have their chance in the outfield.

There it is. Mets sign Chris Young, pending physical.

Mike Pelfrey, R.A. Dickey, Jon Niese, Chris Young, Chris Capuano (or Dillon Gee)

I honestly like that rotation more than I like last year's Opening Day rotation which included Santana. That's how happy I am to see Maine and (presumably) Perez gone.

Not sure why anyone would be upset about Andruw Jones. Pretty much what Thames is except he can actually play the outfield. Not like he once could but still a million times better than Marcus Thames.

He's better then Kearns too right? That's why I don't understand how people can be upset. I am just a little pissed that Golson or Curtis aren't given a shot.

I think the Yankees should look into Armando now. We are gonna need another pitcher.

Detroit DFA'ed Armando Galarraga to make room for Brad Penny, and supposedly the Orioles are interested.

Jays sign Jon Rauch for 1 year. If Chad Cordero is decent I kinda like our bullpen although I don't know just having Purcey as our only lefty. Dotel, Rauch, Frasor, Purcey, Camp, Janssen is better than I thought this bullpen would look. LOVE our offence this year. The Jays may hit more home runs than they did last year.

C: Arencibia
1b: Lind
2b: Hill
SS: Escobar
3b: Bautista
DH: Encarnacion
LF: Snider
CF: Wells
RF: Davis

Eric Chavez worked out for the Jays. If the Jays sign him and put him at 3rd and move Bautista to RF the Jays have the potential to have every player hit double digits in home runs.
