Pujols:
"Everybody can get into a workout routine and build themselves up and have good success like I've been having the last six years."

If only, Albert, if only.

Sidenote: Pujols is the very antithesis of the "less with more" thread. In fact, Pujols may go down in baseball history as one of the hardest working players of all time, who has extracted the most from the God-given skills he was born with. I'll never stop being amazed by this guy.

He's the latino Ted Williams in that regard, though in AP's case he works on all facets of his game and not just hitting.

He'll always be known as a 100 million dollar bust to me (affectionately of course).

Yeah, Mike Hampton's contract was way better.
