Should the Cardinals trade PUJOLS at the trade deadline if they are not in the playoff hunt?
I expect them to be in the playoff hunt, but I said IF they arent.
It looks like Pujols wants a lot of money and it looks like the Cards dont want to give him a lot. If the Cardinals have a bad year, I think it would be best for them to trade Pujols.
What are your thoughts?
My mistake, I forgot that he can veto a trade.
Answer: Pujols has a full no trade clause. Even if the Cards struck a deal, Pujols can veto any trade.

What do you think about the decline in statistics by Albert PUJOLS?
Cardinals fans and those that follow Albert Pujols what do you think has caused his drop in offensive numbers? He is down in HR, RBI, Runs, and his AVE is slightly lower. I hope this is just a phase and he will bounce back soon and maybe next season he will again have his usually high numbers. He has played every game and I can only remember one game he didnt get to bat (he came in late for defense). It does look as though he will have more walks this year than any other year but we are talking about 12-15 more than previous totals. Anybody have any ideas as to what is going on with Pujols?
Answer: I expected a decline from the very start. He's a great hitter, but it helps to be in good lineup. Long gone are Larry Walker, Reggie Sanders and Edmond's ability to put up numbers.
The offense has been getting weaker and weaker over the last few years and finally it's come to the point were it's gets too difficult for one player to carry the load. Last year Pujols was the only player on the team with over 25 Home Run and the only player with 100+ RBI's.
Here's the Cardinals numbers in the first half over the last few years. You can see easily see the decline.
2004 - 108 HR, 455 Runs, .276 AVG
2005 - 97 HR, 447 Runs, .271 AVG
2006 - 87 HR, 440 Runs, .279 AVG
2007 - 70 HR, 368 Runs, .267 AVG

What kind of illegal substances was Albert PUJOLS using before the crackdown in MLB?
He juiced without a doubt. People are always in denial until the story breaks and they have no choice but to accept it.

Roger Clemens*
Just because you may successfully pass a drug test doesnt mean you are clean. The chemists who make this stuff for the players are usually a step ahead of the testing.
Answer: You know what, I can't sit and say that he did or did not use them. I don't know. I've always wondered about it early in his career and whether or not he did.

Should the Yankees consider signing PUJOLS or Fielder in offseason?
I know I know, this seems ludicrous seeing as we already have a great first baseman in Tex. But this is the Yankees, and if theres a player out there that is a difference maker and game breaker we will look into it. I say no for Pujols but my spidey senses tell me that the Prince will be donning pinstripes in 2012!
Answer: Well like you said Texiera is a gold glove first baseman. Pujols is also a gold glove first basemen. It'll be hard to imagine the Yankees put Pujols or Tex in the DH position and not maximize their strengths.
Anyways, the hitting is not the Yankees' problem. It's their pitching. Their only reliable starter is CC Sabathia. Ivan Nova is a keeper, but aside from those two they really have just a bunch of veteran arms and an untrustworthy Phil Hughes. I guess looking back, Ian Kennedy was keeper.
A lot of people see them signing Cj wilson to a long-term deal. Not a bad choice, hes been very good since converting to a starter and has playoff experience under his belt. I think getting Wilson will pay larger dividends than signing Pujols or Fielder.

How much can I sell my St. Louis Cardinals Albert PUJOLS autograph baseball for?
It is a Collectors Edition Baseball, official ball.
Rawlings official supplier of baseballs for Major League Baseball. It is in ment condition and was autographed by Albert Pujols around 2001 in red ink. Still in the Box.
Answer: Don't sell your baseball, get it authenticated and insured. Albert Pujols is destined to be a hall of famer. At his current pace he will break alot of records including career HR's and RBI's. Trust me 12 yrs from now that baseball will be worth at least 100 times what its authenticated value is today, and its value will only go up. You will thank yourself if you put that ball in a safety deposit box and forget about it until you see him being inducted into the hall of fame. Wish I had one.

How much should Albert PUJOLS get per season on his next contract?
Remember A-Rod gets more than 30+ million per season until he is 42 years old. All Major League players are over paid. But since they do make millions what is Pujols worth? Remember Holliday is making 20 million. He is nowhere near as great as Pujols. I say 40 million a year. What is your opinion?
Answer: As long as he gets it on a team other than the red sox or yankees I could care less!
BUT I do expect him to remain in St. louis until he is washed up so I'll say 32-40 million per year...
Pujols isn't the nicest of guys and if he decides to go all "If I went into free agency I could get this much!" to the cardinals, I'd be worried as a fan.

With PUJOLS 30 home runs does he hold the National league consecutive record?
Do you think he will 30 in 2012,2013,2014 and 2015.
BQ will you be disappointed if Pujols focuses on breaking the 2B hit record and not the HR record?
Answer: Pujols has hit 30 or more for 11 years in a row, a new NL record.
Sammy Sosa had the record with 10 years in a row. Mike Schmidt had 9.
Pujols is slowing down now that he's in his 11th season. He'll probably hit 30 the next couple of seasons so I'll say he won't in 2014.
BQ: I don't think he'll focus on one over the other. He'll still swing for the fences, if it goes over it's a home run, if it's off the fence it's probably a double.

What are the chances that we see Albert PUJOLS traded for Ryan Howard straight up at the trade deadline?
The Cardinals dont look as though they are going to be able to afford Albert Pujols. Ryan Howard is already under contract for less than what Albert Pujols wants. If things dont work out, what are the chances we see this trade at the trade deadline?
Answer: 0.
I know that this was mentioned as a trade rumor before last season, but it was never anything serious. It was more like something that a Phillies executive mentioned during a brainstorming session when an ESPN reporter happened to be present.
First and foremost: the Cardinals want to keep Pujols, and I am almost certain they will.
Even if they want to unload him, this is not a realistic trade. First of all, teams usually don't trade one hitter for another of the same type. Both are power hitting first basemen. Neither would fill any sort of different niche that either team lacks. Second, it would be silly for the Phillies to give up a guy they just signed to a 5 year contract extension for a guy who will be a free agent after this year. Likewise, it would be silly for the Cardinals to trade away Pujols for a guy who is getting paid $25 million per year anyway!
Most importantly, if Pujols does get traded (and he won't) it would be for prospects. A lot of them. It is extremely rare for one veteran to get traded for another veteran star.

What player in baseball history best resembles Albert PUJOLS?
Personally, I think Stan Musial does. I think his numbers are similar to the way Pujols plays ball, hes also a good fielder and likeable, and the fact that they both playe(d) for the Cardinals is just a bonus.
What do you think?
Jimmie Foxx also compares pretty well.
Berkmans played longer than Pujols. Use the tool that compares players up to age 28. Thats where Foxx ranks number one. But, these scores arent always accurate, as we also count personality, body, and other things.
Answer: Lou Gehrig was the first player that came to mind - hit for average, power and produced a lot of runs, and both played first base. Musial is an ok comparison but he wasn't quite the power hitter that Pujols and Gehrig were/are. (Don't get me wrong - 475 HR is still great, but Gehrig hit 493 in five fewer seasons, Pujols already has 320something in just over eight seasons)
Personality-wise, I think there are several Pujols-esque players - again Gehrig, Musial fits, Ernie Banks, Hank Aaron...basically any player who has had a great attitude, respected his opponents and played the game "the right way"
Foxx faded quite rapidly from his peak, barring injury I expect Pujols to be excellent until he's 33-35, and then still be very good 35-40, and perhaps DHing for a couple of years at the end.
