Albert Pujols tops list of MLB's biggest albatrosses

[Omar 382]

Wait, you lost me there.

Well, all I'm saying is when they signed Cano, THEY thought they would be contenders, HE thought they would be contenders, and the fans thought so too. Just hasn't worked out.

 

[The Derski]

I can't imagine there being another player that you'd want to hatefuck harder than Pujols.

Interesting visual you just put in everyone's head...

 

[Erie Warrior]

Yep, and the Angels are paying for Hamilton's salary too.

"Salary"

I seriously fear that when his baseball career ends (and it's closer than he realizes) that he will go so far off the wagon he'll never come back. I hope not, but I feel like baseball is literally the only thing keeping him clean.

Josh is making what, $30M this year? And the most optimistic prediction is for him to get about 10 HR's.

It all depends on how healthy he stays. If he can manage to play 100 games (optimistic) I think 20 is very possible.

Id take 12 of Pujols contract

Over Ricky Nolascos...

28.4 mil which Angels are paying 26.4 so for 2 mil (which is loose change to an MLB team) Rangers get to take a chance on him

Over Ricky Nolascos...

Nolasco will make 37 million dollars in the next three years, and then his contract ends. Pujols is going to make 165 million dollars over the next six years. So I'm assuming you're being facetious

No I'm being dead serious when I say Nolasco sucks fucking ass

 

[Omar 382]

Yes I know but his contract is not worse than Pujols'

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Actually in his case all hatred aside it probably is.

At least with Pujols you are getting competent baseball that can help you win with other guys doing their job.

Nolasco is a guy who were basically paying not to play he's so bad. Which is ironic because he's now being given another chance at a rotation spot.

At least Pujols for all his overpay has some baseball talent. Nolasco is awful. It can't be spun any other way.

Yeah, it can. Pujols has significantly more years and money than Nolasco on his contract. It's not even close

It really can't though. Read what I fucking said. Nolasco is someone who can't even be thrown out there to play. He's getting 48 million to sit his ass in hot tub.

I originally sent this as a joke anyways just to show how bad Nolasco is. Thought no real argument would come of it. But you've got some weird vendetta going righ now you latched on and tried to defend one of the worst pitchers in baseball.

It's mildly disturbing.

Not defending Nolasco. Not sure where you're getting that from. He does suck. But his contract is more manageable than Pujols'. Again it's not close. We're talking about 165 million dollars vs. 37 million dollars. You do understand the number line right?

First off it's a 4/49 mil contract we gave Nolasco and he has two years left.

And it doesn't matter if a contract is manageable if your still on the hook for 4 years of god awful baseball.

How don't you see the difference between paying Nolasco for s 5.5 era and Pujols for 40 homers and how many RBI?

Both contracts hurt your team. Only one guys production hurts your team. It's really fucking simple dude

This line right here pretty much sums up your knowledge of baseball. Are you an alt to SJ76? Just stick to hockey dude

Hahaha fucking hilarious.

Stick to Omar? But that's right...he's not even a favorite character of yours.

Idiot.

Nice name calling once you realize you're wrong

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Nice name calling once you realize you're wrong

Coming from the guy whose hit with facts and resorts to "stick to hockey" rather than producing anything of value.

Is your family proud? Or written you off completely?
