MLB.com’s Matthew Leach has`some excellent news for Cardinals fans and those lucky enough to land the No. 1 pick in fantasy drafts this spring. Albert Pujols, who has dealt with a right elbow injury for much of his career, has been given a 95 percent chance of avoiding Tommy John surgery.
“If I recall, that’s what Dr. [James] Andrew s and Dr. [George] Paletta agreed, Pujols said Sunday. ”There’s a 95 percent that I’ll feel good.

Imagine how he’d hit if he didn’t have that elbow problem.

I agree. Albert, stop whining and get it done. Nobody has hit .400 in 64 years. Enough already.

Wait a little more. There are bound to be the nuts complaining that he injured his elbow because he was on the juice. I can’t believe that this guy could do all he has done with a bad arm. If he had two good elbows, he may hit them even further out of the park. Good luck to Sir Albert, except when he plays us.

LOL. Actually, it’s been 70 years (71 if you include 2010).
