I don't think that was his point, though. Posnanski writes a lot of stuff where he's not trying to draw conclusions, but rather just give you things to think about.

I think his intention was to first provide some historical perspective, then set that off with something of a cautionary tale. I don't think he was seeking to either praise or condemn Pujols and I certainly don't think he was trying to explain Pujols' reason for leaving STL.

I think he's just throwing some ideas out there for conversation. He does that fairly often.
