    Pujols Statistically the worst player in the American League





    240 million

    Per ESPN the worst player statistically in the AL

    Will end up being a worse contract then AROID

    This is one of the most surprising developments I've ever seen. Struggling is one thing, but this is ridiculous.

    its past the point of its early in the season

    once you hit 100 AB's its a problem

    not saying he won't turn it around but there is zero chance he has a typical season

    one bad year. one year older next year.

    Angels have to be worried

    He'll be fine. He's going to go on a nice streak a few weeks before the all star break.
    And when they win a world series in the next few years...it will be worth it.
    They HAVE the pitching already

    guy is gonna have to hit .400 the rest of the way and hit 30 hrs and 100+ rbis to come anywhere near his career average. What a bust, especially for Fantasy players who got him top 3 overall

    thats correct

    if they win one and he is a big part of it they will think the 240 million was worth it

    Lance Berkman gets to St. Louis old and out of shape and then is better than he ever was. Similar thing happening to Carlos Beltran now.

    Every Cardinals player should be tested for steroids DAILY. There is obviously something going on there that isn't legitimate.

    There is no control in that organization. Players dying from DUI's or drug overdoses every few years, hiring proven cheaters...

    Albert is a spiritual man. He knows this slump is his karma for his wife's comment that the Cards' $130M/5 yr offer was an "insult". http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2011/12/...ion-an-insult/

    To call an offer that insane an insult did not please Jobu and the baseball gods....

    I remember some guy writing an article saying that Pujols was still getting used to that pacific time zone... I laughed out loud. Just another Angels homer trying to make excuses

    Pujols is struggling that is for sure. But it is WAY to early to say this season is a bust.

    Lets see how he is doing at the all star break.

    lance berkman was always a decent player though .... just when he was on the yankees he never played ... look at his stats per year ... and being old and out of shape has nothing to do with you putting up decent numbers in a weak ass division ... playin in the national league is a joke compared to playing in the american league ... pitching is way better


    and dont say the nationals ... they play minor league ball clubs in that nl east .. only team you can compare is the braves and they arent even that good ...

    If you think Berkman has ever taken steroids you're out of your mind.

    You cant look at a guy and tell if he is on anabolic steroids.

    Depends on what kind of steroids you take, how much you take, how long you take them. How much you eat while your on steroids

    How anabolic that particular steroid is.

    that makes no sense, my friend.

    they are 8-3 vs central 4-5 vs west (a lot of road games)

    And don't forget, nats are missing their best bull pen guy in storen, and probably second best in lidge.
    also missing their two best offensive players mourse and zimmerman. give the nats some credit my friend.

    the central has 1 good team right now .. the cards .. and the nl west is a complete joke offensively .... padres and giants can barely put up 2-3 runs a game and the dodgers revolve around 1 player ... the rockies are an offensive machine when they are home in that gay stadium

    Actually Beltran's numbers this year are worse than they were last year hitting pitcher friendly parks. And outside of 2010 (when he played hurt), Berkman's number look look pretty much like they looked for the last decade.
