Pujols has another foot surgery. Rehab is 4 months

[70runner]

Must donate his feet to plantar fascia medical research, so the next overweight, overaged, overpaid, over the hill FA the Angels hire has a better chance

He runs like an idiot. Having 240 pounds constantly landing on an ankle when running instead of landing on the balls of the feet makes no sense. 

Someone needs to teach him how to run, and he needs to lose weight. 

That's my biggest concern with this. It's another offseason on him unable to do anything on his feet. 

I hope they have him take his time, don't rush him for Opening Day. If he can do .250/25/100 next year, I'll take it. Keep him healthy and hope he has a normal offseason next year and hope he can maintain that line for another couple years.

Part of me is actually surprised his first five years have averaged out to be a .265/30/100 guy.

In before "How come he didn't just do it the day the season ended?!?!?!?"

I was thinking the same thing, unless they don't think he can play a full season and want him playing in October and not March.

Thanks for the image, tdawg. I'll be tossing and turning all night.

Read the articles and it explains it. They've been trying different therapies because he didn't feel too bad, but they didn't take. Surgery isn't always the best solution even if it seems like the most effective.

Can't wait for the "he's in the best shape of his life"

And Angels fans believing it.

Dude. Guys. Men. I seriously could go without the boner images. 

 

Geez. 

 

Who even searches or saves that stuff? Disturbing to say the least.

20 games out on August 15th probably would've been the right time to go have season ending surgery.

 

But.......

Pujols gets to spend another Christmas with his kids on crutches and in a cast. I'm betting he was looking forward to that.
