Now, I wouldn't be totally against it, but I could see a scenario where they let Berkman walk, keep Carp and resign Albert.
Craig or Jay would be in RF. |

Not many games do you make 3 errors and still win.

Berkman turns down arb, and nets you two draft picks in the process, and the absence of Carpenter's salary would equal Albert's raise.

A few weeks ago, I said I'd be cool with moving Berkman and another piece for him.
I wouldn't jump for joy if we traded Rasmus at all, but if we did, that's the caliber of pitcher we need to get in return.

After this year, he'll command a 2-3 year deal at probably 12-14 per. We're in an excellent place to let him walk and take the picks. To me, it's a win-win.

If he likes it here, wants to be back as well as Albert, I think he might be okay with 8 mil. |

That pitch last night to Phillips was a good pitch, probably not even a strike.

They can easily resign Pujols and raise ticket prices next year. I also see no reason our payroll can't got to 120 million either. I don't see Carp asking for a huge payday in the offseason. The farm system seems to have some cheap talent on the way. We should use that saved monies to resign Pujols, Carp and Waino. Let Berkman walk unless he resigns on the cheap. Otherwise I'm happy with craig/Jay in RF.

I'm still not convinced that we should trade Rasmus. He seems emotional immature but too much raw talent to just let him go for less than top level talent.

If your #'s are right then that alone would be 138 mill.

2012 $53 million in salary committed. 2013 $36 million in salary committed. 2014-15 $24 million in salary committed. That leaves us $72 million to spend on Waino, Carp and Pujols and anyone else.

Do you guys want to pay Pujols $30 mil a year? I know that I am not a fan of it. I do think he is arguably the best player in the league. But if it is going to take that kind of money to sign him with a term of 10 years. I don't think Pujols will play out that contract.
If those are the cases I think I would rather have 2 more Holliday types on the team. IIRC Holliday got 15.7 mil a year.
