FACTS/FLUKES: Pujols, J. Kelly, A. Cabrera, W. Davis, Joseph

Pujols putting up strong numbers, inconsistently….When April came to an end, it looked like the Machine was choking on rust—Albert Pujols (1B, LAA) had only three HR to go with his .208 BA. After an April-May where he hit .286 with 21 HR, it looked like MVP Albert was back. Now with a slow July and August, maybe not so much. What’s going on with Pujols?
