A lot of players from the DR lie about their age. Wandy Rodriguez, Miggy, Esmailyn Gonzalez, Rafael Furcal, etc. I'm not saying Pujols DID lie, but there are a lot of questions, so I see a lot of risk in signing a guy who could be several years older than 32 for 10 years @ $25 million per year.

Glad Pujols is out of the NL Central.
I'm not going to completely buy into the fact that Pujols will be shitty by the end of his contract. He's an unbelievable hitter. He won't be worth the money obviously. |

No matter what his age is, ten years is pretty crazy.

Crazy isn't the word. It's stupidity. Sure, they won the bidding war, but they will pay for it in more ways than just than one.

Anyway, 10 year contracts are never a good idea, especially when a guy is already well into his 30's when it begins. This will be a huge albatross for the Angels beginning in about 4 or 5 years. |

Stop pushing conspiracy theories!
Everyone who actually follows the sport knows it's extremely common. I'm a Red Sox fan and I'm completely willing to bet David Ortiz is older than 36. Not because I wear a tinfoil hat, but because there's plenty of evidence to suggest agents are pushing this kind of behavior on their players from the DR.
