1B is blank cause I really don't know who could fill it at this time. For AL Formats..

[Angelsjunky]

Maybe Albert Pujols?

Pujols is going to start there in 80% of the games next season.

[stevestevens]

Shouldn't the title read "step to glory"?

[arch stanton]

How does anyone not get that Pujols will play 1st?

[full circle]

Who the hell is gonna play CF in AL formats!!!

That Rudolph guy from the other thread looks pretty good.

[Turd Ferguson]

This thread reminds me of how much I miss Halo Thunder.

[Brandon]

This isn't the same poster that wrote a blurb about being handicapped and to take it easy on him, is it?

[Blarg]

Lay off Halo Thunder. The guy has his take, his only real problem is articulation. If you can parse the language there is substance to what he says. It just gets lost at times on the quick read.

[Blarg]

He is just voicing his opinion that Pujols past injuries may have moved him to the DH role prematurely. I don't think that is the case but the question comes as to who is the full time DH or are the Angels headed the same way Girardi is leaning towards and tgat is a DH rotation to give his older team plenty of rest days. Scioscia has done that in the past.

[Brandon]

No, I was being serious. Didn't some new poster like the OP post about his condition?

You are correct.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

OP, this thread is a repeat of your "ideal lineup" thread.

He's got MS, cut him some slack.

[Stradling]

If you have read any of edgur's posts he has constantly stated that Albert should be nothing but a DH to take wear and tear off of his body. I am assuming this thread is consistent with that belief. Its nonsense, but he is at least consistent.

[Halos of Anaheim]

Pujols is still a gold glove (What the hell does this mean anyways? He's a quality one) defender when he's healthy. The contract is much much much worse if he plays any less than 6 years at 1B.

[Brent Maguire]

This.

[ukyah]

Pujols is going to start there in 80% of the games next season.

 

that's if he's hurt. if he's healthy, it'll be way higher than 80%.

[Angel Oracle]

No matter how it happens, I'm guessing about 130 1B starts and 20 DH starts for Pujols in 2014.

[edgur1995]

I don't know, I'm really scared that if we play at 1st he would get injured again and play the same as last year. The key to success is to have Pujols as healthy as possible.

[edgur1995]

Shouldn't the title read "step to glory"?

Neh, because we need more than 1 step to have a great off-season (#3 starter, 1B/DH, Bull-Pen).

[Mudville]

Pujols was not injured playing 1st base last season. His foot problem was the type that is agrivated simply by any pressure on it. It was not caused by playing.

[edgur1995]

How does anyone not get that Pujols will play 1st?

Dude I'm sure you watched the Angels or else you wouldn't be on this thread but to me, in my opinion, Pujols looked like an old man at 1st and running the bases. At this point we need to conserve Pujols energy as much as we can so he can last the whole season and hopefully the post season. I've promoting the idea of using Pujols as The Red Soxs are doing to David Ortiz, play him at DH for AL Formats then place him at 1st for NL Formats. Its more of a idea of thinking long term. There's still a season after 2014. So I want him as DH because his aging, not the same defender, conserve his energy to last the season and not injure or aggravate his past injury.
