Pujols holds a very important roster spot and most importantly his salary is certainly something the Angels could use on pitching. 

I agree, but he is not the main problem.

How?

Not one player coming from the farm has been as productive playing first base.  Not one free agent has put pressure on Albert or the Angel's to make a change.  I understand he makes lots of money. But the organization has paid Hamilton. Harvey, Allen and a few others lots of money to not play for the Angel's. At least Albert puts up some numbers.

Maybe I should not pay attention to the pitching, catching, managing, scouting, pitch selection....and just put my sights on Pujols.

He’s putting up numbers but not good enough numbers based on his pay and what it takes to make the Angels a winner. Just look at Nelson Cruz and you can clearly see that Pujols is not productive enough to help us win.

 You aren’t even trying dude.  Dumb.  

I said that he wasn’t the only or even main problem.  That doesn’t mean that he’s not a problem worthy of mention.  He’s definitley a bigger problem then “pitch selection” and “managing”

Pujols is a significant problem going into the last couple of years of his contract.  If you think otherwise you aren’t paying attention. 

This is what I responded to.

If this was written, I would have agreed.

Thanks. Dude.

I love revisionist history.  Maybe the Angels should have drafted some future superstars engen they had the chance?

Or signed a guy with a past PED problem.

I can't wait until Albert retires and we can really start the rebuilding process. 2024 playoffs, baby!

Yep the ship can’t sail until you get the anchor out of the water.

I have a completely irrelevant Calzone stat for everyone.  

Up until yesterday, the Angels had won more division titles than the Yankees over the last 7 years.

Yeah but

 

 

The Angels got swept and are still paying Pujols $25 million and Hamilton and the Yankees had a better record over that span and look a lot better going forward and EAT MY NARRATIVE SANDWICH

[eligrba]

I’m glad I don’t  live on the east coast and have to listen to that narrative.
