News broke on Friday that Cardinals' slugger Albert Pujols will veto any
trade proposal involving him.

The upcoming free agent stated earlier this offseason that he will not
negotiate during the season, meaning the Cardinals ink him to an extension
before he reports to Spring Training, or he will become a free agent after
the 2011 season.

This announcement by itself isn't remarkably significant, but if you read
between the lines, it's evident the Cardinals have substantial doubt that
they can/will hold onto the three-time NL MVP.

Here's my prevailing thought: if the Cards were confident that they will
re-sign Pujols, there would not even be a hint of discussion about a trade.
 If they feel the chances of a extending Albert are strong, then the
possibility of a trade would be a complete afterthought.  After this bit of
news, though, it's clear that it is not an afterthought.

Until Pujols signs an extension or signs with another team, everything is
speculation (we learned that from the NBA's free agent season last summer).
 Here's a break down of what we do know about Pujols and the reasons he might
stay or leave.


如果紅鳥有把握re-sign,那麼不會討論到任何有關交易的問題,這只能作為一種無奈之下

的補救,但很顯然不會是這個原因

以下為留下的正面考慮因素:

Pros

1. Continuity and familiarity

  (熟悉度)

Pujols has never suited up for another team in his 10 prolific seasons in
MLB. Regardless of how favorable or unfavorable the situation has become,
staying in the place you're familiar with is always more comfortable than
making a change.


待在紅鳥10年的小普已經是很熟悉這裡的環境,留在一個這樣的地方總是舒服的

2. St. Louis is arguably the best baseball city in America

  (聖路易是美國最好的棒球城市)

The Gateway to the West has long been among the best baseball cities.  The
tradition, the culture, the fan base.  Since 2000, the Cardinals are second
only to the Yankees in total home attendance, and boasts one of the most
loyal and knowledgeably fan bases in baseball. Pujols' upright character
mixed with the fans' adoration of him as their own creates a marriage that
would not be easy to dissolve.


這個城市的傳統,文化及球迷基礎自從2000年以來就只僅次於洋基

身處在這裡的情感是很不容易消失的


3. Success (成就)

 In Pujols' career, the Cards have won the third-most games in baseball,
taken seven NL Central titles, won two NL pennants and one World Series in
2006.  Pujols could leave, but there are a select few teams who could contend
better than St. Louis for a World Series.


在小普於紅鳥的職業生涯中一共稱霸國中7次,2次國聯冠軍及1次的WS冠軍,離開的話要找到

能超越紅鳥進WS次數的球隊不多


4. Legacy

Here's a list: Rogers Hornsby, Stan Musial, Bob Gibson, Curt Flood, Lou
Brock, and Ozzie Smith.  If Pujols plays his entire career (or most of it)
for St. Louis, he has a great chance of being remembered as the best Cardinal
ever.  That is no small feat considering the names in the preceding list.

如果一直留在聖路易(或者是絕大多數時間)的話,他將會成為隊史最好的球員


Pujols could retire a career Cardinal as the all-time leader in every major
hitting category, which will not be possible if he leaves now.  There's a lot
at stake for Albert Pujols' legacy as a St. Louis Cardinal.



Cons (缺點)



1. Payroll flexibility

  (薪資彈性)

 The number that Pujols is expected to command is $25 million a year for at
least six years.  Some estimates have it as high as $30 million per year.  If
the Cardinals add that to their current payroll, their flexibility and
ability to improve in other places will plummet. Already 13th in payroll, the
St. Louis would certainly rocket into the top seven or higher.

Pujols and his representatives will be aware of this.  Their roster hasn't
been good enough to win a championship the last few years, so how could the
team improve if Pujols earns double his current salary of $13.8 million?
 Pujols could earn his money just the same with another team that is able to
surround him with other players.


預估的新合約將是至少25M/y 6年以上..某些人預測為30M/y 如此一來既要滿足小普要

的有奪冠實力又要滿足薪水是不太可能的


2. Hometown discount?

   (家鄉的折扣)

Given the strong relationship and mutual loyalty between Pujols and the
Cardinals, the organization might assume or even ask for a hometown discount.
 Now, Pujols is not a selfish or greedy player by any means, and has been
severely underpaid his entire career.  Will he continue to be alright with
that after 11 seasons of 30+ HR and 100+ RBI in his first ever free agent
offseason?  Only time will tell.


基於彼此的關係,紅鳥很可能再度要求小普給予折扣優惠...而小普並不是一位自私貪婪

的球員,先前的日子裡已經給過的折扣所得到的已經過少了,時間可以證明,他將會以連11

季30HR 100RBI的成績進到FA市埸

If you're Pujols, there are more positives to staying in St. Louis than
negatives, which doesn't matter all that much.  The only thing that matters
is what Pujols thinks his options are.  Maybe, for the first time in his
career, he wants to be pursued and catered to.  Maybe he wants to sit back
and watch the offers roll in and the contract numbers pile up.  Only Albert
has those answers.


總之只有小普才知道他真正要的東西

The news about Pujols voiding any trade is not earth-shaking, but it does
reveal something about how negotiations are going and what each side is
thinking in late January, just a few weeks before Pujols' contract ultimatum.

He very well could stay, but I think this news means he's leaning towards
leaving.  Now that would be earth-shaking news.


最近種種消息,作者認為他已經想離去了



略翻了一下,有錯的話請指正,我再改改thx
