ROSS MY SALAD posted:Why would the Angels only give Mike Trout a six year deal when they just gave Albert Pujols a ten year deal when he was like, 9 years older? I'd figure that if you're going to give anyone a ten year deal, it'd be someone that's 22. And with a six year deal, as long as Trout continues to put up numbers like he has, he's going to be a free agent at like, 29? How much money is he going to make? It's because Trout wants to hit FA at 29 and make bank that he wouldn't take a longer deal, the Angels probably also want to avoid locking him up forever in case he gets injured or something. I'm sure they would prefer something longer, but this is probably a happy medium all things considered. Guys like Pujols want long deals for a lot of money because they represent security against age and decline, Trout wants security (in case he gets hurt or tanks hard for some reason) but not too much (if he keeps up at this pace he'll get one of the biggest contracts ever at 29, and probably the biggest).

Whatever I'll be laughing at all of you when you're in hell for not worshiping a godly team
