Not encouraging news from Rotoworld on Pujols. Should be interesting to see where he gets drafted this year. I imagine every piece of news on him over the spring will move his draft spot. Get ready for the Pujols rollercoaster ride this spring!
The Cardinals plan to be cautious with Albert Pujols' balky elbow this spring, keeping a close eye on how hard he throws the ball.
"We'll definitely monitor it," Manager Tony La Russa said Saturday. "Talking to the trainers this morning one of the biggest issues will be throwing so we'll be on the careful side of really firing it. He could make a swing that could tweak it, too. It's one of those deals." Pujols said it didn't make sense to have a procedure to clean up the elbow, because the problem is related to the ligament. "If it blows out it's going to blow out," said a blase sounding Pujols. His owners, risking a mid first round pick on him, can't afford to be that blase.
