Albert Pujols surprised the baseball world last season by reaching the 40-home run plateau for the first time since 2010, but it was hardly a vintage season for the future hall-of-famer, as he tallied a career-worst .244 batting average in 157 games. Pujols has missed just eight games over the past two seasons while dealing with minor injuries, but that time on the field has taken its toll, as he has seen his OPS drop an average of more than 105 points after the All-Star break over that span. Pujols underwent foot surgery in the offseason, and while his recovery is progressing as expected, there is some question as to whether he will be ready for the start of 2016. The power potential makes Pujols an intriguing pick inside the first 10 rounds, but health concerns will likely linger over the 36-year-old for the entire season, which could leave prospective owners wondering what kind of production they will get down the stretch.
