Thoughts on Pujols future...

[failos]

he's pretty good for a 50 year old.

Are they pressuring him? I know JMF was a major leaguer so his time may have passed, but what about Thaiss? Is he really ready to make the jump?

Well, we dont really know do we.  JMF should be ready, i would really like to see what he can do with extended at bats.  Thaiss, maybe not so much yet, but hes certainly in the picture in the near future.
Point is i think we need to find out.

If this was some random player i would completely agree, but its not, thus it isnt that simple. 
For starters hes a first ballot hall of famer, but that isnt even the most critical part as hes also been Trouts largest mentor.  
If you simply dismiss this man, it will not sit well with Trout.  It has to be handled the right way. 

I could see him announcing next year that is will be hislast and the angels starting him once a series on his “farewell tour” 

maybe that’s wishful thinking

Must be a mental block with Upton, although he finally turned on one Sunday and singled in two critical runs.

Vs RHP: Calhoun, Upton, Trout, Ohtani, Simba, Pujols, Valnobuena (3B), Machete, Fletcher (2B)

Vs LHP: Fletcher (3B), Upton, Trout, Simba, Pujols (struggling against LHP), Marte, Kinsler, Machete, Calhoun
