Does Morales injury put Angels back in Pujols sweepstakes?

It's certainly possible.

Angels first baseman Kendrys Morales will be out the rest of the season for surgery on the ankle he broke last year.

Indeed, the SweetSpot blog wonders if this is career threatening.

And, of course, that's where Albert Pujols comes in.

True, they have the albatross contract of Vernon Wells. But Torii Hunter comes off after 2012 if they don't resign him. Fernando Rodney will be gone. Morales will have to take a cut on arbitration.
