I don't see the conflict Charles, I feel the same way about a lot of other players/teams. Let me 'splain:
I hope that Pujols comes out of his 'decline' and gets back to his elite status. At the same time, I hope the Angels finish with the 6th best record in the AL EVERY year, smelling the playoffs and NEVER getting in just because they went out and opened the checkbook to buy a WS or 2 with stupid outragous money. I don't like seeing AP limping around this year but think of all the money LAA is going to throw away in the lattr years of the contract and crack up laughing.
The exception in my case is ARod and the Yankees - can't stand either of them;).
