Pujols' Spring

[JTWood]

In a statistic too crazy not to mention, Albert Pujols did not strike out this spring. Sure, it's March baseball against teams full of guys that won't be pitching in the bigs in April or beyond, but a line of 455/500/909 isn't the worst hitter on my city playoff champion slow-pitch team from last year, so it merits mention. With Bonds on the shelf, Pujols is clearly the favorite for the MVP award this year, and he could easily carry the Cardinals to the World Series again in a wide-open NL.
