TRADE RUMOUR OUT OF TORONTO: ALBERT PUJOLS

His rookie year he had a 3.92 ERA actually.

When Halladay was 23 (drabeks age) he had a 10.74 ERA

When I was 12, I had a 2 ERA

sharrrp you are sooo stuuuupid. this is hard. I've got to stop!

and they dont charge 3,000 a seat scar -- that's for the leafs and raps :D

so by comparing Halladay and Drabek, it's safe to assume that he will be the next Roy Halladay

even though he could be the next Joba Chamberlain

If I were Al P's agent try to make em a marter(example to do the right thing) out of em let em go to Was. N's. Money will not be an issue just doing the right thing is. Bottom line is St. L. is not the right place for him! Winning is not either if it was he would be a Yankee.

I can't help but laugh at this forum :

First off the topic is " Pujols coming to Toronto " then lists cobbs, hill & drabek .....

Yet i've just spent 45 minutes reading the last 75 something messages to here ppl bitch and argue the career #'s of kyle drabek

how bout we all just shut up and discuss whether or not this would be a good deal or not, or just not talk about it until it happens

albert pujols is the best player in the game, he's going to make $200 mil easy on this next contract and although the jays don't have a bankroll, they do have money, ask vernon wells and his $126 million ....

 

However, in order for this to happen and the jays to trade away, Pujols wants to come here. So why would he wanna go here? You think he went to the GM of the cards and said, " i wanna go to toronto " dont think so, so this aint happening unless pujols sings long term, which as much as i love the jays, why would i go to toronto, the only canadian team in baseball, to try and beat the yanks/red soxs,  yeah that could be fun, he would be better than the lackey, cc, burnett, arod, texeria, crawford guys in baseball who go to where the spotlight and money is, 

 

Also, jays can afford to lose hill, he's been injured hte last few years, hill has only really had 1 good year, he he hits 30 hr a year but bats like .220

Johnny Mac is reliable on defence and escobar could move to 2nd and let the promising prospect cuban SS take over at SS, i cant think of his name right now

 

although i dont know why im wasting my time typing all of this to you guys because albert ain't coming here, it would be great for the city of toronto and it would be a deadly 3/4 combo with him and batista, but please when a forum is started about a trade or trade rumor, lets stick to what the topic is,

 

not start aruging over a guy who is in the trade, this topic should now be about Kyle Drabek,

$3,000 a seat to watch the Raptors, lol

the next Joba Chamberlain and a 2nd baseman on HGH for Albert Pujols, sign me up!!!

Sharp you're dumb! WEO

As a Cards fan, this doesn't sound THAT bad, depending on this Cobb kid and hopefully a couple other prospects. Giants proved last year you can win it all with dominant pitching and a few good hitters.  2nd base has been an issue for STL as well the last few years.

It really isnt thaaat bad, but its not great for arguable the best player in the game. Like I said you guys would probably ask for lawrie instead of Hill, and stewart as well. That would be a fair deal, but as a jays fan I wouldnt want to do it

Unless it's Ty Cobb....I doubt it...

YOU DONT MAKE SENSE BRO....

What people fail to remember is the Canadian dollar is now worth more than the US dollar, unlike years past. Mix in the fact that our economy is stronger and Rogers is one of the most powerful companies in Canada, and I would not be surprised to see the Blue Jays land a major star within the next year...

So that $300 million contract is more like $285 million. It makes a difference, compared to when our dollar was worth like 70 cents to the US.

If I could the equivalent of $30 million per year and get that locked in with Canadian dollars, would be very attractive
