    I think Pujols is going to have a great year.

      Hamilton had a .625 OBP coming into this game.

          The same was said about David Ortiz a few years ago. Pujols may get hurt again but one of the best hitters ever didn't suddenly go from all time great to awful.

            Anybody who thinks Pujols is going to return to his glory years is in complete denial over his past PED use. Once he signed with the Angels, he stopped his program. How can people not see this?

              I dont own either of them. They just look old....maybe they both have good seasons, but i wouldn't bet much on that.

                Because there's only hearsay evidence at best

                  It's pretty easy to connect the dots. Just research Chris Mihfeld and his link to known PED users.

                    How about reading work that shows that PEDs are very much overblown?

                      So, if his PED program is so good, why would he quit? Let's take this argument to the logical conclusion - baseball's testing program, though vastly improved, is still nowhere near as rigorous as cycling was. Albert Pujols has access to at least as much money as Lance Armstrong did. Armstrong, under a vastly more rigorous program, was never caught. Had Pujols been using, and never caught, why would he stop when he joined the Angels? Because of fear of being caught? C'mon, don't make me laugh. Because of fear of a 50-day suspension? <Snicker> Because of fear of losing sponsorships? Really? With a $250+ million contract? Uh, no.
                      I'm just here for the baseball.

                        Maybe PEDs isn't the "in" thing in California these days.
                        Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

                          You began that paragraph with a question that you answered in the end. Once he signed that huge deal, there was no point in ever risking his HoF chances. I posted it here on these boards on the thread that covered his deal with the Angels. I opined that he has been on steroids throughout his career and I would expect him to quit them immediately, now that his image is still immaculate. The precipitous decline in stats I suspect is a combination of a PEDless skillset and that perhaps he's a couple years older than he claims.

                          All speculation on my part, of course, and I'd be happy to be wrong, because Pujols seems like a genuinely good dude, but I just call it like I see it.

                            So, if you're sure that Pujols was on the juice all through his Cardinal career, do you feel the same about Bonds and his peak years with the Giants?
