Apparently having a manager who actually took time to scout the prospects and actually went to the international camps in the offseason and is starting to create a competition for your roster spot atmosphere most be a bad thing. And having a 21 yr. old who pitched steller in the postseason when he should have been in the minors is a negative.

I hear ya, did he get to the weather forecast?

“Pujols decided against offseason surgery on his right elbow, a trouble spot for several years, because he would have had to miss a significant portion if not all the 2008 season. Pujols still is unable to straighten his arm, but team doctors concluded that because he plays first base, an operation can be postponed. He said his elbow bothered him the second half of last season, and said if that happens again he wouldn’t try to soldier through it. “If the same problem is happening this year, I don’t think I’m to play the whole year the same way,” Pujols said. “I sacrificed my body.”

i would say that hanley ramirez and pujuls are both gonna be fine this year. last year was a down year for albert, expect a bounceback, his runs/steals were down in a weaker offense but he’s a 28 year old stud among studs. Ramirez is only 24 and may drop some in a weaker offense but hes still the best fantasy SS in baseball. you might be able to scoop up albert in late 1st round where he is a bargain, ramirez likely will be gone before then

SJ44 is highly respected here & 25K is a lot of cabbage. Lol

I’m considering entering a league where I can win 25K split with 3 other guys.

Pujols does scare me, but I didn’t about any injury.

David Wright is moving up the drafty as well, mostly b/c of his SB potential.
