Two months after the season ended Albert Pujols had surgery to alleviate the pain in his foot and was told the recovery time will be around four months. With that being said Pujols will almost assuredly start the 2017 on the disabled list. So the question becomes who will pick up the slack if Pujols has to miss extended time?
As for physically replacing Albert Pujols in the line-up the Angels would probably use a righty/lefty platoon of Jefry Marte and newly acquired Luis Valbuena could fill the designated hitter spot for the time Pujols is out.
Now as far as the clean-up spot the Angels could try a few different people in that role.
