Carlos Pujols = The next big thing?

Wed Sep 22, 2004 5:04 pm

I don't know if there is any Baseball fans in here but I'll make a topic here. Not sure if you have seen Albert Pujols, the 1B from ST Lous. Anyways, I don't know who to compare him with, sure he has Bonds power and is a much better hitter than what Bonds was in his first 3 seasons. Who do you think he compares to the most? I mean I haven't seen such a baseball player who is good in every aspect of the game. next Babe Ruth? Ted Williams? who knows.... time will tell

The following was extracted from MLB website:

Albert's 114 home runs tied Ralph Kiner's Major League record for most home runs in a player's first three seasons.
Pujols became just the third player in baseball history (after Mark McGwire and Jose Canseco) to hit 30 or more home runs in each of his first three seasons of play.
Owns 591 hits and a .334 batting average in 475 career games.
For his career he has only seven more strikeouts (227) than walks (220).


Bedtime!

Peace.

I consider Pujols to be like Griffey, who was on track for 700 until he had all those problems, when it comes to batting, if he has a healthy career, i expect him to break the all time home run record.
