Where does Albert Pujols land in your franchises

[jack1535]

I was just wondering, where has Albert Pujols landed in peoples franchise? If he's getting signed for like 15 M, when I start my franchise I think I'm going to edit his contract up to the max the game will allow (26.20)

I haven't quite gotten that far, but as someone who's playing with the Cardinals in Franchise Mode, I'm not letting him hit the market.

In the few seasons I have played through, I have never seen him reach free agency. In fact, the best player to go to free agency is usually Grady Sizemore, with Paul Maholm being the best pitcher.

Yea. He always re-signs in STL for cheap in the ones I've done.

For my new one, I went through and edited nearly all players' contracts to their actual numbers prior to this franchise, hoping it would create more good free agents since teams will have less to spend. I'm only in early June, so I wont know if it worked for a while.

I think in my Mariners or Astros franchise he moved somewhere, I'll probably check later. In my Yankees franchise I make trades and buy everybody I can so I have a Cardinal or two, but Pujols stayed.

Mine? He stayed in St. Louis.

I can only hope it reflects reality

Unless you edit all the contracts most of the star players are going to sign with the team they are on again. It's been a problem with the 2k series for a few years now since they make all the contracts about 80% of what they really are which leads to all the teams having tons of extra spending money.

Pujols stays in St.Louis, Prince always stays in Milwaukee. Contracts are completely jacked in this game, almost any team can resign any player. Therefore there are rarely any big name FA's available in the off season. It is very hard to make substantial improvements to your team in a short period beyond trades.
