Pujols DL bound, perhaps?

^^^Yep

Albert Pujols placed on DL

 

Los Angeles Angels slugger Albert Pujols was put on the disabled list Sunday with a tear in his left foot that could end his season.

 

Manager Mike Scioscia said the star will be sidelined for "a significant amount of time."

...........................

Although surgery seems unlikely, Scioscia didn't rule out the possibility that Pujols could be sidelined for the rest of the year.

 

 

So get ready for this to flare up again next year, like it has every year for the last few.

Stop putting lipstick on a pig, and start preparing for 2014. Anything and everything that will improve the players and the org going forward should be the norm.

If that includes the right deals to send a few veterans out for future improvements without gutting the team, do it!

Not if it's torn this time which is likely.

This should save the team some money if he's done for the season assuming insurance kicks in around $5M.

Wonder how that will work if the doctors deem him playable after 15 days on the DL?

So we can forget this Albert story from a month ago?

Preexisting condition.

They have already stated that it is a partial tear.  Not a full tear.

which is worse

[seenoevil]

Pujols won't be missed. Angels won't miss his base running errors, a guy who runs with a piano on his back, his double plays, his unclutch moments, his non meaningful stat padding home runs..

[Troll Daddy]

Preexisting condition.

[nate]

Yep

[Troll Daddy]

Meaning no money? Explain

Arte self insures players.

So will he be ready for opening day next year? Haven't really seen anything saying how long he should be out for.
