As of 4/29, with 88 at bats under his belt, Albert is batting a stinky .216, with 13 strikeouts, no home runs, and only 4 RBI's!
In the last 7 days, Albert Pujols has enjoyed an incredibly lousy .130 batting average, going 3 for 23, which means at the rate the Angels pay Pujols, which works out to be about $631,578 per hit and around $133,333 per at-bat, the Angels paid Pujols $1,894,734 for 3 hits! OUCH!!!
It's pretty sad when someone getting paid $12,000,000 this year plays worse than someone making the league minimum, but then again, Albert Pujols didn't go to the Angels to play baseball.. Albert only jumped the Cardinal's ship and joined the Angels because he is a money-grubbing loser, who wanted to be able to say that he is the highest paid first baseman in the history of the game.
At Bats - 90 - Cost per at bat = $133,333
Hits - 19 - Cost per hit = $631,578
Runs - 7 - Cost per run = $1,714,285
Home Runs - 0 - Cost per home run = A LOT!
And things will only get worse for the Angels fan when they realize Albert Pujols' skills are going downhill fast, while his salary keeps going up every year.
