There are, however, rumors of the possibility of it developing into an arthritic condition. Rest assured, we won't know anything about that now and the Pujols camp wouldn't ever let it out (but perhaps the Cardinals medical staff knows something we don't).
Then there are his constant nagging leg injuries.
Albert isn't a guy that's built to hold up extremely well. I keep coming back to Berkman; there's a very good chance Albert ages much like Lance did. That's a pretty scary thought for someone we're pondering giving away the farm for.

Albert is a work out machine-especially the legs, torso and back. Comparing him to Berkman is laughable.
