[mulwin444]

or:

 

2011:  837 OPS

   

2012: .762 OPS

 

2013: .783 OPS

 

Would be nice to see him push it over .800 by July 1st

[Angel Oracle]

Never mind me, I'm busy with this crow and adding a lot of honey mustard and spicy barbecue sauce to help the taste.

[dimitrig]

So we signed a guy for 10 years at $20M per based on that?

[Brent Maguire]

He's been raking this month. I was ready for him to hit the DL but he's proved me wrong.

[Jimmag]

Pujols has been a hitting machine lately. Everyone on board the Pujols train.

[Glen]

Judging by what I saw last night, he's never going to hit another double. 

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

That was probably the longest single ever. With the way he's running, he'll probably end the season with at least 20 doubles short of the 50 doubles he hit last year.

[Angel Oracle]

If he were to FINALLY get the plantar fascia surgery done in October, how long is the recovery period normally?

[haloman]

How many doubles would the guy have of he had 2 feet?

Never been worried and I'm still not worried. It's Albert!

My doctor told me that the surgery correction for a normal person is about a 3 month recovery process.  Depends on the severity of course, but for a 32 year old baseball player I really don't know.  He also needs something done to his knee again it appears, he might have come back too soon on that one.  That could be another whole variety of things, and recovery times.

I think its time to accept that Albert is no longer an elite .950+ OPS hitter. His last three years have just been too similar (assuming he follows suit this year). He now seems to be an .850-.900 OPS hitter, which is pretty good but means he's being overpaid by about $10 million per year.

Basically. He's produced quite well considering his injury. Bat speed and power still seems to be there which is encouraging.
