CoachB25, I don't understand what your Cardinal's are doing by taking one of baseball's best young stars, knowing that he has a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his R elbow and in need of TJ surgery, nonetheless are going to throw him out there with one good arm and expect him to be the Albert of old.
The Cards are in transition, and having Pujols healthy for 2009 seems to make a whole lot more sense than delaying the inevitable. He should have had the surgery last fall and as a position player may have seen the field by June or July.
Just my opinion. I know this is kind of off-topic but until the HS season begins, I thought I might slip it in.
