Albert Pujols Is Slowly But Surely Returning To Old Form

After a rough first two seasons of his 10 year $240 million dollar deal, Los Angeles Angels first baseman Albert Pujols is finally starting to feel like his old self again. Pujols went homerless through the first two months of the 2012 season, ultimately finishing with poor numbers overall. The 2013 season proved to be twice as difficult as Pujols was sidelined for over half the season with knee and foot injuries, which led to Pujols finishing with his worst offensive season of his career. But in 2014, Pujols felt great and was healthy for the whole season. Pujols hit career homerun no. 500 during the season. Pujols finished with 28 homeruns and 105 RBI's for the 2014 season. Pujols has so far hit 3 HR's and 10 RBI's as he prepares for the 2015 season in spring training games. Pujols has said throughout the spring that he feels re-energized and feels like he is seeing the ball really well. He also said his knees and feet feel great as well as he hopes to play the whole season at 1B. The Angels and Pujols both have great expectations for him entering the 2015 season, but only time will tell if Pujols translates great expectations and good intentions into results.      -Jared Pate
