From the LA Times - Angels' Albert Pujols isn't running, but there's no need this time

Albert Pujols is coming off knee surgery, and Rockies agree to use of a 'designated runner' if he gets on. But he manages to circle bases after hitting a homer.

I just hope he gives himself enough time to get better so this doesn't become a recurring issue during the tenure of his contract.

This is crazy. If he cant run he shouldn't be playing. Runs the risk of further damage!

Most patients undergoing total knee replacement surgery can return to normal life activities within 1 to 6 months. (sarcasm)

 

Back in October Dipoto said it was just a minor cleanout procedure and that he would be back to "full strength" in a month or so.

I just want him to hit!

Make sure he takes it easy so as not to aggravate the knee. Like him to be ready for the season opener.

Lol @ courtesy runner for Albert freaking Pujols. That has all-time @ngelswin HOF thread potential.

Good thing we weren't playing the D-Backs.  Gibson would have told Sosh to pound sand.

Can we get a courtesy pitcher for the latter half of our rotation?

Scioscia should've asked for James Shields... hell even Santana would be an improvement

Heck, Brooke Shields would be an improvement.
