11. They definitely caught a huge break in not signing Pujols.

They got his best years for a really cheap price, while the Angels got lousy years for an exorbitant price. Even Ken Griffey produced more for the Reds, and he did it at a discount (which still saw him being overpaid).

I doubt Pujols will finish out his contract before he is released (like A-Rod was). Maybe he can still produce a little bit next year, but I think that by 2020 he will be completely out of gas, and I doubt he will be on the roster come 2021.

It is so hard to know how to properly value Harper. He has so many ups and downs. The defense is a big problem. He should probably be moved to first base.
