Here's the thing with Albert - I don't believe for a minute that he used steroids and I don't believe he ever would.
As a consequence, Cardinals fans need to realize that 'clean' players will actually age, as opposed to the steroids freaks of yesteryear. We probably only have 2-3 more years w/ this Albert. From there, he'll start to decline.
Now, as I've said before, the truly elite decline more slowly and do so gradually. As such, we'll see a guy that puts up 3 more seasons with an OPS of 1.000 or better, then a couple seasons in the .900s, then 3-4 more in the high .800s.
But Albert's only going to be Albert for so long. Enjoy it while you can.
