Maybe I'm a romantic,
but I can’t imagine a world where the Cards don’t have Pujols.

I can't imagine a world where Fielder goes back to the Crew.
I say it’s more likely the Dodgers get him than the Brewers, and they’re a long shot.

"You know Joe, if Keith Jardines last name was Johnson, the nickname 'The Dean of Mean' wouldn't work at all."
Completely agreed.
I was talking with Satchel last night about this, and it’s possible I’m reading into personalities and stuff, but I think Fielder’s days in MIL are behind him. On the same note, I think Pujols is playing the field but doesn’t really intend on leaving STL. I could be wrong.

Yeah, I think that Pujols has a lot more to lose if he leaves StL. In StL he’s loved, and even if he declines in five years, he’ll still be loved. If he declines in Chicago or Miami, they’ll hate him and be pissed that they “wasted” money on him.

Maybe as a New yorker I am spoiled by Jeter..but some players just go for the cash…i think Pujols signs first and sets the market..who knows, if he stays maybe Prince goes to the Cubs..they want a big name bat and will shellbout the cash
