I don't buy steroids being a driving factor for Pujols' walks. Pujols has only played in 1 playoff series with the Angels, as opposed to 15 series with the Cardinals. That would tell you that the Cardinals teams were a lot better than the Angels teams, which would also tell you that Pujols would be pitched around on a good team and thrown to on a bad one. I would point to his strike out totals remaining more or less constant to support that idea as well.
