Slugger down
The Cardinals’ Albert Pujols is questionable for Monday’s game against the Cubs after the first baseman pulled his hamstring. Pujols (.325, 17 homers) has never been on the disabled list in his four-year career.
Picky Padres
The San Diego Padres have narrowed their decision on the No. 1 draft pick to three players: Florida State shortstop Stephen Drew, and right-handers Jered Weaver of Long Beach State and Jeff Niemann of Rice. The draft begins Monday at 11:50 a.m.
Smarty & Co.
It’s tough to be a Jones these days. Smarty lost a shot at the Triple Crown–and these three hitters have no chance, either:
Player / 2004 avg. / Career avg.
Andrew Jones .250 / .267
Chipper Jones .232 / .307
Jacque Jones .254 / .288
