Pujols Feels Good
Albert Pujols took an extra two weeks rest this off-season, and his injuries appear to be a thing of the past:
Insisting the body that betrayed him for much of his productive 2006 no longer bothers him, the Cardinals first baseman made it through a two-hour autograph session at the downtown Millennium Hotel on Saturday. Before, he casually engaged the media that became a thorn to him at times in the 83-win team's World Series run.
"I feel real good," said Pujols, who took six weeks rather than a month off following the team's Series clincher Oct. 27. "I'd rather be greedy later on than early on when I'm working out. I feel real good. So far I haven't felt any of those injuries I suffered during the season. That's a good sign."
Pujols put up unbelievable numbers in 2006 with the injuries. If he's healthy, we could see a record setting season.
