Pujols' best years behind him?

08:14 AM ET 03.14 | Running of any sort suffices as progress in the world of Albert Pujols, which isn't to say it was pretty on Wednesday. Pujols, 33, underwent right knee surgery during the offseason. He wasn't cleared to run the bases in a competitive setting until this, the Angels' 17th game of the Cactus League season. And when he reached base -- twice, on a fielder's choice and double -- he moved slowly. Very slowly. ... And here is where the worry begins: Is this spring an anomaly, the outlier in a generally healthy career, a one-time hardship related to the knee surgery? Or is this a harbinger of compromised seasons to come, an indication that the St. Louis Cardinals were right to project that Pujols' best years are behind him?

Best years behind him? The moment he signed that contract. No worries. He is under no obligation to hit any homers until May.

Considering almost every major leaguer's best years were behind him when he was 33, I'd say YES.

Must be something about LA that makes teams throw money at old players.

Some guys get it done in their 40's. Look at Bernard Hopkins, George Foreman, and Archie Moore.

Apples and oranges. Heavyweight boxing morphed in the 90's from a sport to a sideshow. Hopkins and Foreman are just big dumb palookas who were good at taking a punch
