A Modest Proposal For A Pujols Contract

I know it is a scary proposition, but I believe the Cards should give Albert a 10 year deal. However, the deal has to make financial sense for the team in 2018-2022. Here is how I would break it down:

Year: Salary: Running Total:

2012 - $35m - $35m
2013 - $35m - $70m
2014- $25m - $95m
2015- $25m - $120m
2016- $20m - $140m
2017- $18m - $158m
2018- $16m - $174m
2019- $14m - $188m
2020- $12m - $200m
2021- $10m - $210m

If something like that isn't good enough... well, it makes being a fan of any team not named New York or Boston an exercise in futility to the point of being retarded.
