Baseball’s free agent train wrecks

1 of 15
No, you can't put ALBERT PUJOLS in the free agent Hall of Shame, not yet anyway. But he did wait until May 6 before he dellivered his first home run for the Angels, and his vaunted presence in the middle of the lineup hasn't exactly rippled. The troubling thing for the Angels is that they knew the end of Pujols' 10-year deal would produce some buyers' remorse. But 2012 is supposed to be the year of peak return.
