Wilson to join an already star-studded rotation that features Dan Haren, Jered Weaver, and Ervin Santana. ]]> http://ftrsports.com/2011/12/arte-morenos-checkbook-goes-missing-angels-sign-pujols-and-c-j-wilson/feed/ 2 http://ftrsports.com/2011/12/marlins-making-the-biggest-offseason-splash/ http://ftrsports.com/2011/12/marlins-making-the-biggest-offseason-splash/#comments Wed, 07 Dec 2011 18:40:40 +0000 Colin Greenbauer http://ftrsports.com/?p=164859233 The Miami Marlins have been the toast of the Winter Meetings, already landing All-Stars Jose Reyes and Heath Bell.

If you need evidence, beyond the fact that he is not actually a machine and that people are not actually built like brick shithouses, he managed to heal from a broken wrist in 2 weeks. He just came off the DL today, although he was not in the lineup. The normal recovery period for this injury is about 6 weeks.]]> http://ftrsports.com/2011/07/albert-pujols-is-obviously-on-hgh/feed/ 3 http://ftrsports.com/2011/02/st-louis-needs-to-run-from-pujols/ http://ftrsports.com/2011/02/st-louis-needs-to-run-from-pujols/#comments Wed, 16 Feb 2011 21:19:01 +0000 David Sacco http://ftrsports.com/?p=164853286 Albert Pujols and the Cardinals could not reach an agreement by the deadline set today, and good Ol' Al wants his money after all.
