aaronuconn Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Who do you guys think will finish their careers with the most homeruns, Bonds or Pujols. I guess you could throw Arod into this catagory too. I think Pujols will finish with more. Pujols may even break the single season home run record, but I doubt he will do that. I like Pujols over Bonds any day.

8ball Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I think Pujols will as long as he doesn't have any career threatening injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdi02421 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Bonds. Over the 15 years Pujols will need to stay health. there is strong a chance that something will keep him out for an extended period. See Ken. GJR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 home run record in 15 years: 1. A-Rod/Pujols 2. Pujols/A-Rod 3. Hank Aaron 4. Willie Mays 5. Ken Griffey Jr. *Barry Bonds has been removed from the record books for using performance enhancing drugs between 1999-2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Well to break the single season homerun record, he has to stay in this homerun groove he's in game after game. Like 8ball said, there's a chance of Pujols passing Bonds if he can stay healthy throughout most of his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyMcM93 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I think Pujols COULD do it if he stays healthy. But look ay Ken Griffey JR. Everyone thought he was gonna do it, but he was injured. Pujols has the potential to be one of the greatest hitters of all time, he just needs to stay healthy. Alex Rodriguez on the other hand, I think he is on his decline. He will have some more strong seasons, but nothing more than 40 homers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Unit Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 this is 15 years from now that i am guessing. he will be busted soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronuconn Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 Ya, I just hope Pujols doesn't get injured severally over his prime years. I felt bad for Griffey. He was my favorite player growing up. O well, he shoud still belt out a few more in his final years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I said in the other Barry Bonds thread I thought Pujols would pass Bonds...but as said above it's not certain...for all we know Pujols could retire early , have nagging injuries the rest of his career...but he right now is the strongest candidate to surpass Bonds. He's already hit 222 in his first 6 seasons , Barry only hit 150-ish in his first 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronuconn Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 Pujols or Arod will pass Bonds. I don't believe Bonds has that many more homeruns left in him, or steroid doses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyMcM93 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Bonds got better as his carrer went on, hopefully Pujols will do the same. Bonds had his best years hitting wise after his 35th birthday, but if you want stealing and fielding, his prime was around his late twenties, early thirties. Bonds has that unique talent (or did at one point) to do it all, but as his speed and fielding ability declined he hit the ball much moer and a lot furter. Cough*steroids*cough.

aaronuconn Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 Pujols will be the greatest of all time if he keeps getting better as his career goes on. If Arod keeps getting better, we will be looking at two active players in the 700 home run club in some years. Arod has the speed over Pujols though. I think in the end Pujols will have the bat over Arod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyMcM93 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I think so too, plus A-Rod is on the decline, Pujols is still rising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddux31 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 First, I think Alex Rodriguez will ultimately hold the HR record. He is very consistent, and as of now holds the record for fastest HR milestones reached, he is very much like a Hank Aaron, very consistent and has more homers per year, where Aaron never put up the big home run seasons, he just hit them very consistently, never with 50 or more. REMEMBER Canseco? Pujols is awesome, but I don't know why but I just feel in another 3-5 years he may break down. I really don't like him, but this opinion is unbiased. Arod will be there, I firmly believe this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronuconn Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 Ya, my decison is unbias, even well I hate the Yankees. I hope Pujols doesn't sizzle out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snepp Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I think so too, plus A-Rod is on the decline Without a doubt, there isn't a player in the league that would want to decline like he is. :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Jerk Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 In the age of the "let's just stop pitching to him" strategy, no one will ever come close to Aaron or Ruth. If the league wakes up and puts in some rules to get rid of intentional and the "unintentional-intentional" walks, then it might happen. But I can't see any commisioner, let alone Selig, being brave enough to implement that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyMcM93 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 N one evr would have the balls too I agree. But you notice, Pujols is still getting pitched to. Someday pitchers will learn to pitch to him like they do Bonds, but so far they haven't learned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronuconn Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 I would hate the day they stop pitching to Pujols. It will suck, same with Arod. Pujols will see pitches in his day and he'll get to the 700+HR club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroholic Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I'm an Astros fan all the way, but I hope Pujols hits 80 home runs this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 they do pitch around pujols. watch the at-bats when he gets up and hits a homer or rips a double. he can hit a good pitch, he can hit a bad pitch. the guy can hit anything. he is leading the majors in home runs and they are pitching around him, drawing many walks as well. he is the best hitter in baseball right now.
