Use that and increase win value by 10% a year, and Tex is not overpaid. And Yankees would probably kick in some money, rather than prospects.
If Cards end up trading Pujols, look at Santana and A-Rod trades for type of return in talent.

This would likely mean additional years and dollars (think 2/50) when he’s liable not to be worth it. This, in my opinion, means we would have to get even more from the Yankees in order to justify this move.

I’d be comfortable bracketing his worth between 105-115. Doesn’t change the conclusion too much either way.

All in all if they got the deal you proposed I wouldn’t be too upset. It sorta depends on how close we grade out to the Reds…. those 1.5-3 wins we lose immediately (depending on Joba or whomever would also play in MLB) would greatly impact the playoff probabilities for this year when we’re likely in an ok position in wins (mid to high 80s).

I thought he was just bored and slammed something up, but it looks like some think it’s a legit idea.

Of course, nothing else is going on…
