The Cardinals should have made sure to lock him up last spring. Huge mistake in not getting it done then. Hard to believe he took the money and left the Cards, though. I don't think anybody saw this coming...I sure didn't. I'd be interested to know what kind of legacy he'll have with Cards fans now.
Contracts like this, by the way, make me appreciate Roy Halladay even more...that guy has willingly accepted three bargain contracts in a row to stay with the team he wanted to play on (including the most recent 3 year/60M extension in 2009). Plus those decisions have kept him away from the Yankees, which nobody wants to see. It's truly not about maximizing his earning potential with him, it's about winning games. It's rare...but not everybody takes the money.
