Cardinals' Pujols has successful surgery

Baseball Betting Lines

10/21/2009 - St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - St. Louis Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols underwent a successful arthroscopic debridement of bone spurs in his right elbow Wednesday morning.

The procedure, which also included the removal of bone chips from the elbow, was performed in Birmingham, Alabama under the direction of Dr. James Andrews. The procedure was unrelated to Pujols' nerve transportation surgery of a year ago.

In addition, doctors have ruled out the necessity for ligament reconstruction surgery for the All-Star first-baseman. Rehabilitation will commence next week with Pujols expected to be ready for spring training in 2010, although no official timeline was provided.

Pujols batted .327 with 135 runs batted in, a league-leading 47 home runs and .658 slugging percentage in 160 games this season with the Cardinals, who won the Central division title with a 91-71 record but were swept by the Dodgers in the NL Division Series.

What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country.
