Player Notes
March 12, 2010
Albert Pujols (back) should return to St. Louis' lineup tomorrow, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Our View:Pujols has been out the past week with back discomfort, but it hasn't appeared to be serious, and he's simply been held out for precautionary reasons. If you had him tabbed as the No. 1 overall pick, as most people do, there's no reason to bump him down from that pedestal.
March 10, 2010
According to the St. Louis Post Dispatch, Albert Pujols (back) is expected to return to the Cardinals' spring lineup this weekend.

Our View:Both Pujols and Holliday are ailing. They were penciled into the three and four spots in today's lineup but were both scratched. Manager Tony LaRusa stated that, "Albert has a pain in his lower back that he's never experienced before. We're being careful." Careful is good since we're dealing with the game's best player. He likely just needs a few more days to rest the back and should be fine by this weekend. Continue to consider him the flat out number-one fantasy draft choice this season.

Albert Pujols (back) has been scratched from St. Louis' game today, according to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Our View:Pujols has not played since Saturday as he's been dealing with back discomfort. You can't blame the Cardinals for playing it safe with their star, though Pujols would certainly play through the slight pain if this were the regular season and could be back as early as tomorrow.
March 8, 2010
Albert Pujols received treatment for lower back pain this morning and will not play in today's Grapefruit League game against Boston, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Joe Strauss.

Our View:Anything regarding Pujols is always big news, though this seems to be a very minor issue, and Pujols said himself that he may play tomorrow against the Twins. Don't view this story as anything to sway you from picking Pujols No. 1 in your draft if you had planned on doing so before.
February 27, 2010
Albert Pujols has reiterated that he wants to finish his career as a St. Louis Cardinal, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Our View:"People in St. Louis and our fans around the country know where I want to be. And that's St. Louis. There's no city like St. Louis to play baseball. And the way the city has embraced me, and my family and our charitable foundation has been unbelievable. I am blessed. So why would I want to go anywhere else?" That rather lengthy quote should put many Cardinals fans at ease. Now he just needs to sign a contract extension, something he says he wants to do as soon as possible. Stay tuned.
