Just thought I'd get that out of the way early. The least amount of homers he has had in a season is 32. The lowest batting average he has ever had is .314. He now is a good defensive first baseman. If he retires today, he should be a sure fire lock for the Hall of Fame. But what's scary, at least for the N.L. is that he likely has 10-12 good years left.
But I'm not 100 pct. sure. But they will re-sign him unless the Cardinals management wants to take their lives in their own hands. He is likely the most popular athlete in St. Louis since Stan Musial.
I watched the game last night, aside from that fluke inning, he was steller. He even hit a double that started the Cardinals winning inning. He may not win 300 games, but he'll have a couple Cy Youngs to his name by the time he retires.
