Re: Robinson Cano thread
I think what happened with Pujols could be an indicator of what might happen with Cano. Similar situations (superstar, beloved player on an iconic team spurns his fans for west coast and $240M/10 yr. contract, gets replaced by Beltran). Pujols' items took an immediate hit when he left St. Louis for LA -- not severe, but noticeable. Then he played poorly in LA and values dropped even more. Bats that were $3K two years ago can be had for half that much today. Much depends on how Cano does in Seattle. If he puts up MVP numbers, the value decline might not be as great (I hope he does -- he's one of my fantasy keepers, too). But, there definitely will be a drop in values.
