Steve (St. Louis): Is somebody going to write an article on Pujols' MVP win? I mean its a pretty big story and this is a baseball site.
Will Carroll: It's hard to do an article on "Pujols was better than everyone else and the writers got it right." I mean, what else is there to say? Oh, "congratulations, Albert." I'm more interested in Pujols' interest in a St Louis MLS franchise. His contract is nearing the end, so does that make it more likely he'll stay?

Bill (New Mexico): Christina's roundup of the NL Central yesterday suggested that Chris Duncan's neck injury could be career-ending. That's the worst prognosis for it that I've read anywhere. Are you hearing anything on that one?
Will Carroll: Its a good description. I'd say "career threatening" and I think that's the phrase doctors have used.

drewfuss (kc): "It's hard to do an article on 'Pujols was better than everyone else and the writers got it right.'" Is that why things tend to get a little negative around here? Nobody is willing to write an article that's not critical of the rest of the baseball world?
Will Carroll: That's not it at all. I'm just saying there's nothing interesting to write. It's not exactly breaking news that Pujols is the best player in baseball, is it? Warren Buffett -- still rich! Stacy London -- still hot! Albert Pujols -- still good!
