before last year, his previous 3 year average was {42 HR, 115 RUNS, 123 RBI, 13 SB, .313 AVG].
A move to the AL and his stats last year [30 HR, 85 RUNS, 105 RBI, 8 SB, .285 AVG]
Those are not 1st round numbers, so if you're thinking repeat of last year, then it is tough to take him in the 1st round multiplied by this:
ROTOWORLD: Albert Pujols (knee) isn't expected to make his Cactus League debut until mid-March.
The Angels are just playing things safe, as Pujols is coming off arthroscopic surgery on his knee in October. While there's nothing official yet, it's safe to assume that he will not play for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic.
