Wrong again old man. Pujols has played 155 games a year
Since being in Cali, except 2013 when he was hurt. He has played nearly 120 games at first base every one of those season, until last year, when they put him as the DH primarily. The Angels actually have another TRUE 1st baseman they can use, who bats about .280 and gives them another solid bat in their lineup. Why not put AP as the DH, when you have another younger guy to use in the field. It's first base. It's not like we asked him to shag balls on Left Field.

125 games a year from AP with his numbers is way better than watching Brandon Moss strike out 200 times and hit .215 Maybe you enjoyed watching Adams, Reynolds, Moss, and the rest think they were farmers swinging at chit in the dirt while batting.

Like 120 games a year is some kind of achievement? For 25-30 mil a year?

I never said he dh'd since leaving. He dh'd last year and most all of this year. Years 5 and 6 of his contract. Those years plus his remaining years are some 160 million to sit on pine and come to the plate 4 times a game. He can't even do that much if he were here.

He's been asked and he has said himself......after back to back games at first he aches...and he's got major foot issues, if he stayed on this team your 250 million dollar player would be in the field 80 games right now tops with 115 million more to pay for in the remaining years.

He's just another AL dh guy who can't go 150 games a year, and by his own words will be aching if he does half that. Once his foot flares he's screwed for a long long time too. The Angels know this which is why he's riding pine.

The Cardinals wanted this guy. They wanted to sign early. Pujols wanted no part of that. He WANTED what he got at the time. Claiming he got dissed then wifey got all pizzed off too..........him claiming it "wasn't" about the money......oh yeah, the diss ...remember that one?...what a joke..........he can play out his days in LA and then stay out there too for all I care.
