Angels fans turn on Albert 'Boo-jols'

It's okay Albert...you've got all that money to keep you happy.

How much salary are the Angels prepared to eat when they trade him back to Saint Louis?

Just kidding, but this was inevitable. It has come a few years sooner than I thought it would. Let's see how Albert reacts. He's never, ever been booed at home.

An injured Lance Berkman is easily more productive

so if this continues.....is this worse than the Arod contract?

It will be unless he breaks out of this soon. At least ARod still performed at a high level for a few years and got the Yankees a championship before he started breaking down.

What is this now? Four of the six most recent block buster contracts for position players being horribly bad?

I never understood this contract. Pujols had far more value to Saint Louis than any other club. I understood their offer this late in his career. The other two teams must have been smoking crack when they made their offers.

Something positive should come out of this and ARoids deals. The end of the 10 year mega deal. What's funny is that Fielder couldn't get his 10 years when he was the one who was a better bet since he's younger and would've only been 38 at the end of the deal.

Paying 25-30 mill a year to a 35+ year old player is idiotic. Plain and simple.

its not necessarily idiotic if it is a short term dealI'd rather have paid pujols 40 mil for 4 years than 25 for 8+at least you'd expect him to be fully productive int he short term

Exactly. I'd be shocked if he didn't start producing in a month or so, and he'll still produce for a couple seasons. But after 35-36? It's just a drain on your resources.

huge hispanic population in Cali, and a new TV deal for the Angels, yeah he was supposed to perform better(and he will), but this was all about ratings, same as the Arod deal, think of all the milestones and records these two guys are supposed to break, it just sucks for the YES neowrk that Arod is tainted and no one cares bout anything he does anymore....

He's too good a hitter to just all of a sudden lose it, he isn't Adam Dunn, or is that done....

He will get it going or be Traded to da Mets!!!!!!!

According to this picture, he has no right arm. That may be a cause...
