Albert Pujols 3rd Base watch

[clevername]

those of us in keeper/dynasty ESPN leagues get left out. Need 20 games played to keep the 3B eligibility for next year, right?

He'd get it for this year after 10 games but wouldn't keep it.

Anyone thinking of trying to buy Pujols now in hopes he gets 3B eligibility and that his owner hasn't noticed he's close to getting it?

I have Michael Young at 3B, Kinsler at 2B. The guy in my league who has Pujols has Espinosa at 2B. Thinking of offering someone + Kinsler for Pujols and moving Young to 2nd.

Thinking of Pujols at 3B has me ...

Regardless of 3B eligibility or not, I would think trying to buy Pujols is hard as it is...

I just offered Braun, Morneau and Pineda for him in a 10 team league....and it got rejected with no counter offer!

I don't know who is the bigger idiot, me for offering it or him for rejecting.

I was offered Braun and Frank Francisco for Albert earlier this year. Braun is about the only one I would consider (I already own Kemp) but I turned it down too.

Albert isn't helping our cause here with 2 errors that led to two runs in yesterday's start at 3B.

Well, not another start but another appearance tonight for Pujols at 3B...I guess those errors didn't scare La Russa.

Machine likely returning tonight. With the injury any chance he will get another start at third?

there is no reason to. Frese is back

[BigZ38]

with LaRussa, nothing would surprise me.

Freese will be out for a while longer. I would not be shocked to see Albert accrue the necessary starts as long as he doesn't begin looking silly over there. It gives LaRussa even more chances to make weird lineups and he can't pass that up.

Next up: Berkman at 2nd.

With LaRussa I think you can expect Albert to get 4 starts just to tease fantasy owners.

This makes me sad

Resurrecting this thread 'cause I just checked Albert's player page and the overall 2012 player list on Yahoo, and they currently have him listed as 1B/3B.

Any chance that sticks once the season starts? That would be HUGE.

Albert has 1b elig. only.
