Pujols: .182/.280/.273/.553

The point was that there hasn’t been enough time to miss anyone, yet.

But I admit, I miss the 2008 version of Pujols already….I think we do have a large enough sample size to conclude that that guy is gone.

Oh that guy. The guy who had his feeling hurt that the cardinals offered him 25 a year for 5 years or “insulted”

General consensus is as stated above, a return Tuesday based on how it responds to treatment.

Additional depth and flexibility is on the way, Craig is tentatively scheduled to head out on a rehab assignment next week with Schumacher due the same in a day or so. Odd men out appear to be Robinson and Komatsu if no other injuries occur and Berkman proves healthy.

You mean…..Albert’s been a REALLY GREAT PLAYER for the last decade? I HAD NO IDEA!!!

What’s your point, ezthinking, other than to be a provocative and not particularly interesting troll?

That’s history. He’s 32 now, and way too expensive.

You want to see Berkman’s numbers from the playoffs last year? They were better than those of Pujols.

Post season when they went to the world series:

2006: .288 .439 .519 .959 3 HR 6 RBI

Would it have been great for Pujols to be a Cardinal for life? Yes, of course it would have been.

As Cardinal fans, did we get the best years of Pujols? Yes, of course we did.

As owners, did the Cardinals get lucky to have the Angels step up and way overpay for Pujols? Yes, of course they did.

Pujols was/is a great player, but it’s obvious that even with a lot of talent, you can still fail.
