Fantasy Analysis
Pujols has gone 12 for 44 (.273) with three home runs and nine RBI in his last 11 games as he appears to be turning a corner in his first season with the Angels. His overall average has risen from .192 to .213 over that span and his slugging percentage has gone from .277 to .333. While all of his stats are far below his career marks, the 32-year-old has the ability to go on tears like no other so keep an eye on his progress going forward. Despite his sub-par start to the season, continue to view Pujols as a must-start option in Fanatsy. (Updated 05/23/2012).

05/23/2012 06:45 Dear Mr. Fantasy: Ups and downs of young players
Last year your team was a juggernaut. This year it's sitting in the cellar. What happened? You might even have most of those players back. If you're relying on young talent, our Scott White says prepare to take some lumps in his latest Dear Mr. Fantasy.
Albert Pujols endured a down campaign -- by his standards -- in St. Louis last season as he failed to bat over .300 and post at least 100 RBI for the first time in his career. He hit just .279 over his first 73 games before a fracture in his wrist forced him to miss time in late June. He would come back in early July -- ahead of schedule -- and returned to familiar form. He sported a .579 slugging percentage and hit 20 homers while driving in 54 runs over his final 74 games, finishing the regular season with a .299 average and 99 RBI. Pujols then had a torrid postseason to help lead the Cardinals to the World Series title. After flirting with a couple of teams in the offseason, the 31-year-old signed a 10-year deal with the Angels and is expected to continue to post huge numbers in his first season in the American League. Los Angeles won’t give him the lineup protection St. Louis would have offered, but he’ll have the luxury of the DH to help him rest throughout the season. The three-time NL MVP has averaged 40 homers with 120 RBI a .328 average through his first 11 years in the majors and should remain an elite option in Fantasy heading into 2012. Pujols will be one of the first two or three players off the board in just about every draft this season. (Updated 2/8/12)
