St. Louis Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols has won his 2nd career NL MVP award, receiving 18 of 32 first-place votes.

“I’m pretty happy,” Pujols said.

“Obviously, you have to have the numbers to be considered.”

Pujols won the award by a large margin over Philadelphia slugger Ryan Howard. Milwaukee’s Ryan Braun finished 3rd in voting and Los Angeles outfielder Manny Ramirez came in 4th.

Pujols finished the season hitting .357 with 37 home runs and 116 RBIs while playing with a sore right elbow.

Albert Pujols Considering Season Ending Surgery

Brian Ethridge — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 06:29:08 +0000

St. Louis Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols is considering reconstructive elbow surgery which would could keep him out until next season.

“I’m thinking about it,” Pujuls said. “I’m thinking really hard. I think in the long run the sooner that I get it done, the better it’s going to be for me because I’m going to heal quicker than if I wait two or three years. But it needs to be done.”

If Pujols opts for the surgery it will be a huge blow for the Cardinals and I doubt they could overcome losing him. Managment will do whatever they can to keep him off the operating table until the offseason.
