Angels Albert Pujols said his goal is to be ready for opening day. Not sure about 1B. Seems more open to DHing now.

"I would love to play 1B, but I can't be selfish." -Pujols.

Pujols said he didn't have surgery immediately after season bc wanted to try to rest a few weeks and see if that worked. It didn't.

 

Jeff Fletcher ‏@JeffFletcherOCR

Oh, and Pujols is selling his house to buy another one in OC. Nothing to see here.

 

 

 

He also admits that the team doesn't look good

 

Jeff Fletcher ‏@JeffFletcherOCR

Pujols "If we can stay healthy, we have the ballclub that can compete w/ anybody. The paper doesnt look too good, but you can't go by that."

Usual Albert preseason optimism highlighted by this gem from Scioscia...

 

''Was it bad luck? I think it was,'' Scioscia said. ''I never saw a guy hit the ball so hard. Was it (defensive) shifting?''

I hope cron brought his big boy glove

Plantar fasciitis has a way of recurring.

I think everyone that posts here had the same thought...

CJ Cron can "scoop" with the best of the 1Bs. I wish he had better range beyond a Weeble Wobble. Seriously, David Freese has amazing lateral movement in comparison.

Its starting to look like we need about six or seven things to completely go our way.... to be mediocre.

Albert, do us a favor and don't rush back.  Please make sure you're as close to 100% as your old body can be.  Once you are there, I welcome you back.

Which old body? The 2008 body would be perfect.

100% happened 6 years ago. You're to late.

Between the three of them, I'd say the combined home to first time is probably around 17 seconds.

[tomsred]

Why would all three run to first at the same time?

Just for the spectical of it.

Trout is going to hit .500 this spring without him.

[Amazing Larry]

Because there is a pizza sitting on top of it.
