This was his 4th consecutive season with a declining OPS.

Now, 'decline' is a relative term; he was still spectacular through 2010. But in 2011 he was merely very very good. It was the worst season of his career and by a relatively decent margin. I'm not saying he was shit, but he's no longer at the peak of Everest.

Pujols is already declining. And the Pujols of old may never surface again (if it does, it will be similar to Berkman's last hurrah this year or Musial's 57 season; raw pride at work for a year).

Unfortunately all signs are that Mozeliak is simply going to take that money and throw it at even older, shittier players than Pujols (Jimmy Rollins and Mark Buehrle). So the Cardinals are going to leap out of the way of one bullet, right into the path of another.

Good going, fellas.
