He was second in the league in doubles (45) and third in batting average (.327) and RBI (135). He was especially dangerous with the bases loaded, going 10 for 17 with five grand slams, three doubles and 35 RBI.

Fantasy Analysis

Pujols didn't homer in his final 89 regular and postseason at-bats after Sept. 9. He had minor surgery Oct. 21 to remove a bone spur from his right elbow. He had feared he might need ligament replacement, causing him to miss the first half of next season. "My elbow was fine," Pujols said. "I don't put that as an excuse. I was still playing every day out there." Consider Pujols the No. 1 player to have in Fantasy Baseball 2010. Ramirez was No. 1, but he falls back to No. 2, while Howard and Fielder are late first-rounders in most leagues.
