Lance Berkman, for example, said he would only approve a trade to Texas.

Pujols has his 10-5, and he’s already said flat out that he’d veto any proposed trade this year. The best you could do is argue that Berkman is Pujols injury insurance, but that’s a pretty weak explanation for giving the guy $8 million and playing him in right every day.

If it becomes necessary to trade Pujols, Berkman keeps Mark Hamilton or Nick Punto from becoming a regular. I agree that $8M is too much to pay.

He’s a guy with a bad body to begin with entering his mid 30′s in obvious decline. I couldn’t believe they gave him $8 million in the midst of crying poormouth over Pujols.

Why didn’t they sign Vlad Guerriero? At least he’s played in Right recently.

I’m going to back to St Louis until spring traing is over. Whatever they’re doing there is injuring players left and right.
