DJ SUGAFREE QUIK:
And 2 think there was rumors that Albert was seeking a 10 year 30mil a year contract.  NO player is worth that much.  Even though I felt he shoulda stayed with the cards but they choose not 2 think about paying that much.  Shoulda been at least 5 years, maybe an out clause.  Arte Moreno isn't looking like a great owner now.  3 terrible things he did. 
1. added the big city name to the team.  Vin Scully, I & people in the OC still refer to them as anaheim. 
2.  Albert's contract
3.  Dumping Torii Hunter for Hamilton & giving him that big contract

By saying that he's not worth what he's getting paid you're assuming he actually gets whatever he's being paid. The reality is that a big chunk of it gets taken away as taxes before Moreno signs the check.

DJ SUGAFREE QUIK:
It would be nice if people in sports actually mention that.  Say what they'll really get after taxes.  But seriously, 10 year contract is too long.  A falling out could happen.  Perfect examples in A-Rod, & that goalie of the islanders.  Some of these players should have an out clause just in case.  Of course its annoying when players complain about teams not giving them an extra year when they sign a new contract.  Just worry about that during the last year of that new contract if you know what I mean.
