Albert Pujols News Alert
RotoInfo.com | May 5th, 7:58pm
Apparently Pujols was told by manager Mike Scioscia to not even pick up a bat, so he didn't participate in pregame batting practice before the game and is doubtful to pinch hit. The hope is that this will help this storied slugger get his head straight.

“Albert Winnie the Pujols is the best hitter in baseball. So playing on a new team with new pitchers and a new league will not make a difference. In fact he may have a huge advantage so none of these AL guys will really know how to pitch to him. No reason to think he cannot keep dominating. Even in a season where everyone was selling Pujols after his terrible start, he still ended up with 37 HRs, and 99 RBIs. double digit steals.” @Muntradamus, Mar 15th |

“In 2011, Pujols failed to reach 100 RBI and a .300 batting average for the first time in his career. Moves from STL to LAA. I view this as an overall neutral move, all things considered. Now 32 years old. BB:K ratio was his worst since 2002” @JeffBoggis , Feb 7th |

“The jump the AL shouldn't hurt at all, in fact, DHing every so often may actually do Albert some favors. Although he's listed at #2, it's more like 1B and you don't need me to go on and on about what kind of hitter he is. Essentially, he's the standard in baseball. There are a couple of reasons he isn't #1, and that's his career worst plate discipline from a year ago, and a decrease in Iso-power. Regardless, he shook off a wrist injury in 2012 like it didn't even phase him, proving that he is that much better than everyone else that would have seen a decrease in pwer afterwards.” @tofantasysports, Mar 5th |

“Pujols is moving from a stadium with a Home Run Park Factor of 74 in St. Louis, to a HR park factor of 93 for right handed batters in Anaheim. I'm not saying this will drastically improve his numbers, but it certainly won't hurt him.
What will hurt, however, is not having Matt Holliday and Lance Berkman around him in the lineup. I expect his HR numbers to remain high, but his RBI and Run totals to decrease a bit.” @timcyoung , Feb 6th |
