Pujols to Hit 83?

13
Vote

Found this in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch today:

"In 1998:Mark McGwire hit his 18th home run of the year in the 43rd game. He finished 1998 with 70 home runs.
In 2001:Barry Bonds hit his 18th home run of the year in the 42nd game. He finished 2001 with 73 home runs.
This season: Albert Pujols hit his 18th home run in the team's 35th game."

What will Pujols hit this year? Is he using performance enhancing drugs? Or is he that good?

He's just that good, but he's not going to hit 83. He'll end up with 50-55.

He's on pace for 113 XBH, which would be good for third all-time. I think that a lot of those 83 homers will turn into doubles, kind of like how Carlos Beltran's two shots to center last night couldn't quite get out of the park. I'd like to see him with 100 XBH, which is certainly doable.

I say he hits 63 homers and establishes a new non-needle aided home run record.

what makes you all so sure there is no chance he using something? you really think the testing keeps up with the science? are you crazy? just amazes me that pujols gets a free pass on this issue when bonds and others are crucified (mostly because people just don't like him because he's a jerk). but come on, it's not like pujols is a small guy...

Just cause players are on top doesnt mean they are juicing. Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth,Willie Mays...So then they MUST have been juiced...Pujols is 26, roid free, he's amazing, talented and that's it. We should be happy that there are clean and pure players out there that have chances to break these tainted records. Furthermore spend the time to sign up on here and use a login name if you are going to accuse players and dont hide behind the general anonymous fanatic s/n. I'm a big guy too, but i dont use steroids...everyone comes in different sizes, Pujols is just solid and if you research is training you'll inderstand why. For the topic at hand...Pujols is 26, young talented and has great years ahead of him...pending on the current injury who knows what will happen this year but i have a good feeling that he will be at the top of the record books by 2010.
