    Rumor has it that there's talk about offering Albert a percentage of the team as part of his new contract. I wonder if it has to do with the 250 million dollar offer he'll need to stay in a small market town.

    Well he's certainly the most underpaid player in MLB. I wondered if the Cards would tear up his contract and make him a better deal after the Ryan Howard deal. Back in 2004, 7 years 100 mil seemed like a pretty damn good deal, even though Manny was making more, but now it doesn't look all that great compared to Howards deal.
