Scott Sizemore will miss the entire 2012 season with a torn ACL in his left knee. |
My favorite part: he lasted all of one hour into the team's first workout!

Oh. You poor, poor bastard. 
Let me know if there's anything I can do to help. I'm..I'm here for you, buddy.

But if you look at 2011, you will see that Beltran had a better batting average, better on base percentage, better OPS, and was close in slugging percentage. He played about the same number of games too. If he can keep it up, he would be an adequate replacement. I'm just hoping that age doesn't catch up to Beltran and Berkman and Carpenter. Pujols is 32. Pujols will not be worth that contract for probably the last 3 or 4 years. There are some rumors out there he is 33 or 34, but I don't really believe that. |
I think you're being a bit too cavalier about replacing Pujols, especially with a 35 year old, but Beltran did have a good year. I'm with amp, though, in expecting a decrease in performance. I expect them to beat the Reds, though.
And yes, the Pujols contract is going to be an albatross in a few years. I can't wait! ^_^
