Ryan Franklin Lauds Hitting Talents Albert Pujols, Ichiro Suzuki; Matt Holliday At #2 Again; Albert Pujols Leads NL Vote; Cardinals Sign 33; Etc...

Cardinals reliever Ryan Franklin has had a front row seat to watch perhaps the two greatest hitters of his generation perform. With the Seattle Mariners, Franklin spent five years as a teammate of Ichiro Suzuki and this is his fourth season as a teammate of Albert Pujols, who like Ichiro had a .333 career average before Tuesday night's game here.
