Update: Albert Pujols has helped calm the nerves of many Cardinal fans, as well as the Cardinals front office, by appearing on ESPN Radio in St. Louis this morning and speaking about his contract status. "I have two years (left) and we don’t have to worry about it. You know the Cardinals need to worry about signing Matt Holliday and all the free agents. There’s no rush for me to sign right now, you know? But if they come tomorrow and say ‘Albert, you know, we want to lock you up,’ — hey they know that we’re open to that." Breathe easier, St. Louis.

Fantasy Impact; In the interview Pujols also mentioned his happiness over Mark McGwire's hiring as the new hitting coach. He mentioned that McGwire taught him so much about concentration and how to look for a pitch as a rookie. Could Sir Albert get better? That's a scary thought for anyone who doesn't already own him in keeper leagues.
