He's not even SOOOOO much better than any other 1st baseman. He doesn't steal bases. I think Bonds was much more valuable... |
Pujols is just everything that is good about baseball... came out of NO WHERE, just a prospect, 21 year old kid, Cards needed an OF, then he hits like he's been in the show for 10 years....
and because I like to see interesting things... baseball reference as always.... Pujols is most similar to Joe Dimaggio, and Jimmie Foxx through his current age of 28.... Bonds most similar pre 30 years of age.... is Tom Brunansky, Jack Clark, Duke Snider, etc....
NOW, as much as I loved Tom Brunansky.... I'm taking PUjols here... yes, Pujols isn't done yet... but his worst season ever was in 07.... 32 HR's, 103 RBI, and a .327 AVG.... ummmm.... thats insane.... players would kill for that in their OFF year....
Bonds just threw it all away.... until MLB can find out where these DOminican's are getting their JUICE, which ain't happenin, Big Papi is smart, he gets his shit so no one finds out about it.... then its Pujols for me!
