LA Times: Angels first baseman Albert Pujols is feeling 'awesome'

[AngelsWin.com]

Slugger hopes to regain form after suffering from foot problems in 2013. Josh Hamilton won't have an 'accountability partner.'

He'll be back in July

He has a nice gait. That's all we really needed to know.

He doesn't need to run much. He just needs to hit the cover off the baseball, like he used to. That will be more than enough.

LOL It sounds like something you would hear from a trainer at Churchill Downs. Nice choice of words, Sosh. The gift that keeps on giving. You all know now that that immortal phrase may just find its way into a special thread if the opportunity presents itself.  Hopefully not, though, as I am hoping for a great season.

His foot is coming out of the batters box well

[fan_since79]

Just hit the dang ball, Albert!

[Michifan]

On the optimistic side, he's right that the knee and the plantar physical problems explain his down production. If those really are no longer an issue, then he could be awesome again. I like to hope.

We signed Albert Pujols?

I would feel awesome too sitting on a quarter of a billion dollars.

Nobody noticed Hamilton is riding solo to the 7-11 this season?

Don't care how "awesome" he feels, I still don't want to watch him trying to stretch singles into doubles.

Hit the ball and take the appropriate base, Albert. Let the youngsters do the running.

[Angel Oracle]

But is he in the best shape of his career?

[Homebrewer]

Angel career, maybe.

Buffalo are deceptively and dangerously quick for their size.

Albert... not some much.
