So yk, you would rather they right no off season articles about players coming off injuries? It's there job to write these articles and it's our job to interpret them for what they are, which is their job.

 

 

Hey, if this article works for people, more power to them.

[Stradling]

It works for the common fan that reads the headlines. These articles aren't written for guys like us that know more about the Angels, their history, their strengths and weaknesses, than the actual sports writer himself. We are fanatics, that's why we spend hours each week on here.

[Blarg]

What about Hamilton?

What about him? You wantto talk about him make a seperate thread. This is tge Pujols rehab thread.

[Blarg]

I'd rather hear nothing and be pleasantly surprised by, say, an All-Star type season, rather than the over promising, under delivering that we've received thus far from Pujols.

I'd rather you guys find team badmitton is your sport of choice and go invade that forum with your shuttlecocking.

Exactly.  This is fluff, but it's certainly much better than hearing he had a setback or something similar to that.  I prefer being cautiously optimistic and perhaps ending up being a bit disappointed to being pessimistic and having your wish come true.

Hope for the best, expect the worst

[nate]

We can expect several of these type articles every week until the season starts.

 

"Hamilton feels confident he will continue the success he had at the end of the season."

 

"Trumbo gets back to the basics, believes he can improve plate awareness."

 

"Howie focusing on improvement, not trade talk."

 

"Weaver focusing on velocity with new strength program."

 

"Bourjos back to form, hitting in the cage."

 

"Calhoun, in great shape, ready to battle with Bourjos for a starting job."

 

"Blanton, still sucks, hopes to be the suckiest ever."

 

If I could write, I could totally be a sports writer.

so what IS the deal with Albert's feet, or foot?

 

did he get surgery?  did he puss out and opt for rehab?

is it realistic to expect that his feet aren't going to be a problem this year?

He didn't need surgery for his foot to heel properly.

When it tore last summer that basically did the same thing that surgery would have done.

This is great news for all of the undecided season ticket buyers. The FO is obviously preparing us for a lite winter by selling us on Albert again. And oh by the way, Kobe Bryant was seen dribbling a basketball 3 months ago.

So much for Kobe smashing the expected return date period, for which the norm is 6-9 months and surgery was over 6 months ago.

[Brent Maguire]

Pujols will show up to Spring Training in the best shape of his life just like every other player in baseball. 

 

I'm hoping Pujols still has a few .850 OPS seasons left in him.

Still has to get back into playing shape as well(strength, conditioning, muscle memory). For a 35 year old, 6 months would have been a miracle.

I know, I just wish he hadn't used the word "smashed".

Pujols in 2014: .262/.326/.465 25 HR. 2.7 WAR

I want to be optimistic, but the dude just absolutely sucks. He'll never have a good fu season in an Amgels uniform. This article comes out every year, and it's the same gimpy Pujols that can't hit or run

Jesus Claude, I liked you better when you were unsure if you would post here anymore.

It's also great news for those trying to sell seats to undecided season ticket holders.

It's nothing personal Strad, I do hope that Albert finds his old productive bat but if he has a setback before Opening Day this place is going to explode. Happy Holidays!

It may not be personal, but it is bordering on obsession.

I'd rather you guys find team badmitton is your sport of choice and go invade that forum with your shuttlecocking.

I'd rather have some thread posted at least once a week that allows someone on here to use the term shuttlecocking.

Why in the hell hasn't this happened before?!?!
