I don't think its Vlad again. Vlad was signed during an offseason in which the FA market was significantly deflated and was signed through his prime years.
$14mil x 7 years was such a huge blow for my baseball fandom at the time.. That was almost as much of a steal then as it seems now.
The Pujols deal doesn't feel like that. There is a lot of risk with Pujols. The market is healthy, Pujols is getting older, and there is the HGH question mark.
Granted, the Ms still have significant odds against them. We basically need Z to GM his butt off and the Ms to really up their payroll.
