Albert Pujols is getting much more rest this spring training than normal. What is the result? MASHING! He has a spring leading .875 slugging percentage and is just hitting the ball solid:

“I’m seeing the ball really well,” Pujols said, adding that he has used his extra days off to work in the cage. “I try to take advantage of those days off and take that extra swing. If I’m going to be greedy with my extra swings, that’s the day that I really want to take it.”

Keep it up AP!

Albert’s injury

Well, if Albert is really hurting bad, this man is super human. Albert has confirmed having a high grade tear of his injury. His doctors have confirmed, he will not be having surgery, as of now. This is in his right elbow, so it could effect his hitting, some say. It hasn’t bothered his hitting so far this spring, hitting .450 and hitting 3 bombs. Albert is quoted as saying: ” If it blows out it’s going to blow out, You can’t control that.”

Albert’s Spring

So far, the Cardinals have just been mediocre this Spring. With a record of 5-7, the Cardinals have had some highlights, and some lowlights. Albert has once again been a highlight, putting away the questions about his injury.Albert is hitting .450, with 3homeruns, 3 doubles, 4 rbi’s and 6 walks. and seems to be seeing the ball pretty well.

Continue staying hot Albert!

Should Albert rest more in Spring Training?

An article earlier at STLtoday discussed how the Cardinals will handle Albert Pujols this spring. They will most likely implement the “Pujols Rules” which will limit his at bats and activity on the field to keep that elbow healthy. Pujols repeatedly has said the sprained ligament in his elbow is not a problem, now. La Russa has said Pujols is “one tweak away” from trouble. I tend to agree with the Cardinals approach here. You need this guy! Albert - stay healthy! Limit your at bats - and be ready to roll for the season. Take a few games off here or there to keep it strong and fresh!
