Pujols out 4 to 6 weeks

Sorry to see this. Obviously this affects all of the NL Central, as

The Cardinals now have yet another hole in their lineup due to injury--a three-time MVP sized hole.

It makes the injury situation of the Pirates look benign (knocking on wood). Look at this disabled list. It's scary.

Albert Pujols	1B
Eduardo Sanchez	RP
Allen Craig	LF
Gerald Laird	C
Nick Punto	2B
David Freese	3B
Bryan Augenstein	SP
Adam Wainwright	SP

And Holiday just got back. I can't imagine the Cards competing for long without Albert.


Evan Meek	RP
Chris Snyder	C
Ryan Doumit	C
Steve Pearce	1B
Joe Beimel	RP
Pedro Alvarez	3B
Mike Crotta	SP
Ross Ohlendorf	SP
Kevin Hart	SP

Of course it's amazing that the Pirates are still not dead last with all of their injuries. But there is no one named Pujols on their disabled list. Or on their team, for that matter. Does anyone know when Pearce, Alvarez, and Doumit are supposed to be back?

Cards list is getting a little shorter.

Augenstein is on rehab at Memphis, and Freese is supposed to start his this week.

Listening to the NH Show yesterday…
Doumit and Pearce out until late July to early August.
Did not mention JJ, Hart, Orhlendorf, or Snyder.
On Alvarez, he said possibly early July he could start a minor league rehab…. He was not overly optimistic talking about Pedro’s return. NH mentioned that it is very important that he watches his nutritional intake since he is not working out and burning calories…. MMmmm

Several reports have Snyder down for the season. Haven’t heard any indications that Ohlendorf or Hart are anywhere near ready to throw in anger. And have heard nothing on JJ.
