Albert Pujols

I thought it would be a great poll to discuss the St. Louis Slugger. I would like to see what your feelings are on his talents and future records in Baseball

I am of the opinion that he has the talent, but its WAY too early to tell. Longevity is the key, and we have no clue how his body will hold up after 10, 15 or even 20 years in the league. The dude is one of the most natural hitters the league has ever seen.

Yeah,I agree but I put yes assuming he would stay healthy.
I guess there is no wrong or right answer here.

I guess they could question him, but would it mean anything? He's being tested and has never been even mentioned in any of the steriod talk.

To me I can't even imagine it...no questions about it no test positive nothing...to me he seems like the kind of guy who would never do that and love to take the home run record and destroy it legally and without cheating or help of any kind!

I agree with what Beers said...the guy's personality just doesn't equate to him doing 'roids. Of course, I felt the same way about Big Mac until he cowardly refused to answer the Grand Jury's questions by taking the Fifth.

I really want to hope that there's a player of Pujol's caliber out there that is good just because he his good...not because he cheated.

Alex Rodriguez!

I know many people have some problem with him, but he fits the mold perfectly. Great all around and clean.

people wanted ken griffey jr. to be that guy but his health stopped him....then it was mcgwire but we all know now the guy cheated...now we have pujols....but he has a long long way to go before he threatens it....do people hope someone like pujols breaks it cause the possibility of bonds being on top is feasible?
