PUJOLS, Angels fans share excitement for 2012

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Is Albert PUJOLS the fastest player to get to 400 homeruns?
I know he is the 3rd youngest, that is not what Im asking. Im wondering in a basis of games played. So my question should be did it take Albert Pujols less "games" to get to 400 home runs then KGJR or A Rod?
Answer: Pujols hit his first in 2001 and so it took him 9 years to get to 400 home runs. you do the math.

What will the Marlin do if they get both Albert PUJOLS and Jose Reyes?
At first they said if they get both theyll put Reyes at SS, Hanley at 2B, and Pujols at 1B. Now Bleacher Report is saying theyll might trade Hanley. Is this true? Bleacherreport is my secondary source to all sport news.
Answer: I find that bleacher report just reports what they think, rather than having insider sources. If they had all three that would be one of the best infields in baseball (def. in hitting, Pujols is a decent fielder but not quite top tier). I can't see them affording all three for a team that never opens their pocket. I see them keeping Ramirez and adding one of the two others (most likely reyes).

How will the signing of PUJOLS affect Vernon Wells?
Vernon had a bad year last season is overpaid for sure. But with Pujols now possibly hitting in front of him, do you see Wells bouncing back next year and putting up good numbers?
BQ: Do you think Prince Fielder will sign with the Cubs, Cardinals, or stay with the Brewers?
Answer: I think Vernon will do much better this year. Last year, he kind-of had that phase where he got his new contract and started feeling like he didn't have to work hard. I'm sure with Albert in front of him in the lineup he will feel much more comfortable and will have a chance at the championship. I'm sure this will make him play much better.
BQ: I think Prince will go to either Seattle or the Cubs. Seattle sure could use him, but I don't know if he'll go there. Cubs can afford him and should offer it to him, now that Pujols is off the market, they can start making a run at him.

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.

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.
