if you and your rival (LAA) each gain 10 WAR, that's the same as 28 other teams losing 10 WAR
CJ already pitched for a rival, he just switched teams. I would have preferred he go outside the division, but really, it's not much different than him re-signing with Texas.
CJ = non-factor for me today in the "Ms now have no chance" meme.
Pujols is different, but can be compensated for.
I still think we're in the lead for Fielder...and I still don't believe the Ms have the stones to close the deal. If the Committee gives Jack free rein and he can get Fielder to sign on the dotted line...
Then I'll be impressed - and we can make our own statement with a prime-years crusher.
