im sure he wouldve love to stay in st. louis but what u fail to realise is that st. louis is an NL team. he wont be able to play as long playing everyday. so by going to the angels an AL team he is able to dh without the wear and tear. and if it was about the money then he wouldve signed with the marlins since they offered him more but guess what they are an NL team. |

Don't know about that Albert. has been great in the post season his whole career. .330 batting average career postseason and .353 last year. Heck he hit .414 with 6HR's in the post season the year they lost to the Red Sox in the Series. At least look at some stats before bashing Albert. He gave the Cards 2 titles. Freese did it one year that doesn't make him more clutch than Albert. Beltran has been awesome in post season for awhile though

Have to correct myself Beltran is only in his 3rd post season so he has some catching up to do also. But his BA is great so far.

#23 Posted: 10/13/2012 3:40:04 AM The Cards offered dude over 200 million. That shoulda been enough to stay in STL. He got and extra 40-50 mill, which is alot but come on. You can live like a King for 200 mill plus what he already made on previous contracts. Greed wasnt good in this case. I am not a Cards fan either ( unless i got green on them). |

So you think 40-50 extra mill is nothing to Albert
40-50 mil is just that. that's a lot of dough to leave on the table. He made the right choice. He earned his two rings in St. Louis nothing wrong with moving on.
