Another Thing to Like About Albert Pujols

Albert Pujols stole his 8th base of the season in yesterday's 10-3 romp over the Arizona Diamondbacks. While eight stolen bases is nothing to write home about, Albert's reached that number without getting caught.

Coming into this season, Pujols was 13 for 26 in steal attempts, a poor 50%. If I were Albert's manager, I'd ask him to stop running. He does enough with the bat that stolen bases aren't adding anything to his resume. But 8-0 is very good. The team is 43 for 62, which is okay, but without Albert the Cardinals would have a very bad SB%. Nice to see that Albert learned to pick his spots.
