The Mystery of Albert Pujols

We all know that Albert Pujols has scuffled out of the gate with the LA Angels. But, I'm more interested in trying to analyze why he has struggled, and give some possible reasons, most of which other people have already stated. Pujols has established a career with a slash line of .327/.418/.612, we all know that those are great numbers especially over 12 years in The Bigs. Pujols has also slugged 445HR's. So, why has Pujols struggled through the first month of the season with the Angels? Maybe it's the new ballpark, a new team, new teammates, maybe it's the climate, regrets about deserting St. Louis....or maybe it is the expectations that came from that 240 Million dollar contract he signed this offseason? Let me put it in perspective this way. Adam Dunn left the Washington Nationals last year to sign with the Chicago White Sox for a large contract, and last year he posted a slash line of .159/.292/.277, while only hitting which is atrocious, hitting a mere 11 HR and having 42 RBI's. Maybe he needed time to adjust to his new place and role, because it looks like Dunn is headed in the right direction this season, having already slugged 5HR and having 16 RBI's, only time will tell though. My point with the comparison is that Pujols will turn things around, but when and how quickly remains yet to be seen! (Numbers provided by baseball reference).
