Albert Pujols told Enrique Rojas of ESPN Deportes that he plans to show up at Angels' camp a week before the report date for position players.
"I believe it's important [to arrive early], not just because I'm on a new team, but because for the last 12 years I've lived in St. Louis, where it's cold," said Pujols, who will play his first spring training in Arizona. "I'm going to try to show up a week early to get used to the weather, to get to know my teammates and to avoid getting there a day early and having a lot of problems." Pitchers, catchers and injured players are scheduled to report on February 19 while position players are scheduled to arrive on February 26. The Angels will begin their exhibition schedule on March 5 against the Athletics.
