Pujols on foot injury "I'm dying"

[Amazing Larry]

Well I got it from running. Should Pujols not run during the offseason?

What's even more worrying is seeing Trumbo at first base.

 

Not sure where this idea that Trumbo is a horrible defender came from.... it's just not factually true. Is he a great defender? Probably not but he's average to above average at the position.

He runs like Herman Munster, he needs to rest his left foot and his right knee. I think that "pending a physical" in Angels terms means put the uniform on and smile for the camera.

This is on you Hamilton!

Until you get your act together, Pujols can't go on the DL.

[Reveille1984]

Reveille84, it doesn't have to be either/or. There's a big difference between playing every day in the field and sitting on the bench coming to the plate and (hopefully) running the bases four times a game. Not to mention that if Pujols gets on late in the game he can be pinch-run for.

 

So we're really only talking about 4 times at bat and 0-4 times running the bases. Not being out in the field for nine innings should help and, if coupled with anti-inflammatories, will at least hopefully keep it from getting worse.

 

That's pretty much what I meant, that he either needs to take an extended period off or just tough it out while DH'ing.  Taking a day off here and there probably isn't going to do much.

Pujols barely runs during the season.

Well... you got me on that one.
