How often will Pujols play in 2019?
Beat reporter Rhett Bollinger fields questions from Los Angeles fans
By Rhett Bollinger MLB.com @rhettbollinger
10:56 AM EST
How much playing time do you see Albert Pujols getting? Any chance the Angels buy him out?
-- Mike, Upland, Calif.
The Angels are still working out how much playing time will go to the combination of first basemen Pujols and Justin Bour as well as Shohei Ohtani, who will be limited to designated hitter after his Tommy John surgery. Manager Brad Ausmus said at the Winter Meetings that he doesn't believe Ohtani will be ready for the start of the 2019 season, which means Pujols and Bour can split duties at first and DH early in the year.
But once Ohtani returns, he figures to get the bulk of the time at DH, which means Pujols and Bour would share duties at first. It's too early to say if it'll be a true platoon, but the left-handed-hitting Bour figures to see more playing time against right-handers, which could limit Pujols to seeing mostly lefties. Pujols, though, has actually hit right-handers better the past two years, so it'll be interesting to see how it plays out. As for a buyout, Pujols' contract is guaranteed through the 2021 season, so he'll get another shot to prove he's healthy after left knee surgery.

So glad the Dodgers have avoided situations like this.

Angels' Albert Pujols: Hits milestone homer
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Pujols went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and two walks in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Rockies.
Pujols's eighth-inning long ball gave the Angels a 4-3 lead in the eighth. It marked the slugger's 660th career homer, bringing him into a tie with Willie Mays for fifth most of all time. Despite the big home run, Pujols will likely continue to see scattered playing time during the final two weeks of the season.

Arte has to be regretting this one. Think of all the exterminators he could have hired with that money. Maybe even enough to completely eliminate the vermin problems. GO DODGERS!!! |

He got paid for what he did as a Cardinal not what he needed to do as an Angel. Arte must be chomping at the bit to see that nightmare end. I was thinking that they could save some towards the luxury tax and ship him back to St. Louis to finish where he starred being that the DH will probably stick but that's probably out of the question for the Red Birds. |
