ST. LOUIS -- Atlanta Braves manager Bobby Cox has an idea of how much St. Louis Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols should get in his next contract: $50 million a year.

Cox saw that Philadelphia Phillies star Ryan Howard got a five-year extension worth $125 million.

So on Tuesday, before the Braves played at St. Louis, Cox offered his assessment. Cox says Pujols is twice as good as any player in the majors.

Pujols is in the final year of a seven-year, $100 million contract with St. Louis. The Cardinals have a $16 million option on the three-time NL MVP for next season.

Cool. I hope the Cardinals pay him $50 M/yr so they can't afford a team to put around him. Better for everyone else's team.

If he signs for $50 million a year it will be as the new Yankees 1st baseman and Teixeira will become DH. No one else could even dream of affording that
