Baseball Prospectus Podcast reported that Albert Pujols was put on waivers but quickly with drawn last week.  They say it's just procedure and teams do it all the time.
It serves no purpose to put a guy like Albert on waivers.  I am absolutely sure St. Louis has no intention of trading him.  If I'm the player or the agent I'm saying WHAT THE F#$K!  Why would a team put me on waivers if they have no intention of trading me.
There has to be some logic to this right?

Here is the audio link.  The rundown is 5 minutes long.  The references about waivers is about half way in.
