Pujols to have bone spurs removed from his elbow

[jsnpritchett 2,981]

...and hopes to play 1B as he normally does next season.  Sorry if this has already been posted, but I didn't see it on the board:

Lol

[Dtwncbad 3,483]

Crap so I guess he can't play 3rd now?

Might as well just have the full 200,000 mile overhaul done all at once.

“Hopes to be able to go through his normal winter training regimen”

Lucky for him he doesn’t need a knee or an elbow to do his off season workouts

3 more years lmfao

It is a shame we can't just rebuild him like the million dollar man.

He played 70 games at 1B this year. I can live with that in 2019: 

70 games at 1B

10 games at DH

10 games as PH

= 90 games played

It's possible, if they stretch it out equally for the whole season (2 to 3 games a week at 1B).

Then Ohtani can DH 150 games, which leaves 90 games at 1B for either Thaiss or Walsh.

[Griffey's Corner 154]

Either by trade or Free Agency the Angels will be bringing in a stud 1B for 2019. Pujols will be on the bench.

 

C- Maldonado?

1B- Stud

2B- Cozart

SS- Simmons

3B- Fletcher

LF- Upton

CF-Trout

RF- Calhoun

DH- Ohtani

 

They will also bring in a stud closer.

[BackUpTheTruck 1,041]

Fernandez/Walsh/Thaiss (whoever is playing well) vs. RHP, Pujols vs. LHP. Also, Pujols vs. RHP who he matches up well against.

That should keep Pujols under 100 games.

Platoon him at 1B with one of Walsh, JMF or Thaiss. This way he only plays against southpaws or against righties he's owned over the years. Make him a part time player/hitting coach. Fire Hinske

Whoever fixed Kole's swing should be the hitting coach.

I also have the t-shirt.

[totdprods 8,477]

Well, good. He's going to be here regardless, so ideally the more he can be prepped to play 1B, the better. 

I think we need a better insurance policy than Luis Valbuena, Jefry Marte, or Jose Fernandez though.

...and it will probably run to the last day of the 2021 season.

[wopphil 3,547]

The problem is that Ohtani's roster space will be as a DH, which means we have two DH types. There are not enough roster spaces for another dedicated first base or DH type. Cozart or Ward will have to be able to play first on a somewhat regular basis.

Nice!! Get him healthy by Spring Training next year so he could be in the best shape of his life and slot right into the clean up spot.

We need to get a warranty on the parts, then.
