Albert Pujols Homer-less in April

It's May 2nd, and I was hoping by the end of April, the Philadelphia Phillies would have a record of .500 or better, but one city is hoping for something more. The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim signed Albert Pujols to a 10-year $240 million contract this off season, hoping for a chance at having one of the greatest players of all time on their team. But as of right now, it looks like the Angels spent a lot of money for little return. Albert Pujols' trophy room has 3 MVP awards, 2 Gold Gloves, 6 Silver Sluggers, a Rookie of the Year award, and 2 World Series rings. He is a man who has 6.88% of all MVP shares, to which the only two people ahead of him are Stan Musial and Barry Bonds. Pujols has 445 homeruns, 80 of which were hit in the month of April, meaning that 17.9% of his homeruns are in April. If you still do not know what I am talking about, or have not been following baseball, Albert Pujols has not hit a homerun! With very little production, the Angels are now 9-15 in the AL West, and to put things in perspective: if you're team is below both the Athletics and the Mariners, you're in trouble. Pujols has been given a lot of attention due his lack of hitting the long ball, and is putting pressure on Prince Albert. I even made a bet during an at-bat that Albert would hit a homerun, and he was walked, saving me $50. Across the city of Los Angeles, Matt Kemp has hit 12 homeruns and only makes $7 million a year, while Pujols is making much more, maybe the money is slowing his swing down. Albert is hitting .208 this season in 96 at-bats with 8 doubles, and 5 RBIs. Half way across the country, Pujols' main replacement Carlos Beltran has already hit 5 homers, are Cardinals fans happy? I would think so, especially since they are still salty about losing Pujols in the first place, and are looking for some form of sweet revenge. I for one know not to underestimate Pujols because he can hit, he is Albert Pujols for crying out loud! I'm not writing him off, but he certainly needs to start producing if the Angels want a chance in the AL West.
