Is Albert Pujols The Best Hitter In Baseball?

Right now probably. But it's close. I mean if it was bottom of the 9th bases loaded 2 outs I can't say for sure if I'd choose AP or Bonds. Steroids or not, good legs or not, Bonds is still the most dangerous hitter.

i think that Morneau should stay MVP.\n\nAs for the NL, Ryan Howard is a great player, we all know that. But Pujols deserved it more.\n\nRyan Howard may have hit more RBI, and HR than Pujols but him team didn't even make it to the playoffs. Pujols carried his whole team into the playoffs, and into the world series... and won it! Because of him (Pujols) the Cards won the world series. So i have no idea how or why Howard became MVP.\n\nMorneau is a great choice because he's from an underground team, and he is an underground player. If you look at other teams their saying "Who the hell is Morneau?"\n\nHe's the first twin in over a decade to hit 30+ HR, he helped the Twins from 12 under the .500 to about 30 games over. He plays first base (not DH). Look at him now! He's a somebody. Around him he doesn't have much great hitters. All he has is Mauer, Torri, and Luis Castillo (an All Star) without Morneau the Twins are nothing.\n\nWithout Jeter, the Yankees still have A-Rod, Damon, Canoe, Abreau, Giambi, 26 Rings, and alot more.

Pujols is an amazing athlete and I do think he will beat Bonds single season record. He is a class act and his setting the record will be a good thing for baseball. Then we can start watching as he begins to eclipse the various milestones to one day be the all time home run leader.

Albert Pujols.\n\nHowever, the best player of ALL TIME on the Cardinals was Rogers Hornsby, who has the highest batting average EVER in a season (.424) in 1924.\n\nAs for pitching, best pitcher today is Chris Carpenter, best pitcher of all time in Cardinals history is Bob Gibson.

Alex Rodriguez IS THE BEST

I'm assuming you're referring to the HR record.  I would probably say Griffey, A-Rod, Pujols or Vlad.  All four are team-players who are natural hitters without taint of steroids and they all love the game for the game.

no way man! BIG PAPI is the best hitter in baseball and he is clean! Bonds on the other hand...why is he still in the MLB???

When I heard about Pujols, I thought the same thing as Georgie Porgie... what a whiner he was, and how great Derek Jeter looks in comparison... \n\nWhen the Yankees were winning their four world championships in the late 90s, the MVP awards went to the Texas Rangers (3 times) and the Oakland A's (once)... does Pujols think we need to take those MVP awards back?\n\nIf the CArdinals didn't play in such a sorry division, they couldn't have made the playoffs to begin with....it's not Ryan Howard's fault that the Mets ran away with the division this year...and, as someone pointed out earlier, the Phillies did have a better record than the Cardinals anyway...\n\nAlbert is a jerk, he needs to shut up...

The best shortstop ever is Ozzie Smith. 13 straight Gold Gloves and he wasn't a bad hitter. He had 580 stolen bases in his career, #20 on the all-time list. Who can forget his game winning home run he hit in the 1985 playoffs against the Dodgers. Classic.\n\nCurrently, the best shortstop is Edgar Renteria. He had an off season hitting last year, but he is great defensively and a good solid hitter, especially in clutch situations. I think he has the best all around package at this point (defense, power, average, speed). Omar Vizquel is good too, but he's at the end of his career. I like Derek Jeter too, but I hate the Yankees too much and can't be objective about Jeter.

i think he is one of the best...but you also have to put a-rod, manny, ortiz, and derek jeter on that list, but i would say a-rod is the best player in baseball today and pujols is a close second

Albert will get his mvp award on nov. 20th . I'll give Howard his just rewards for being a homerun hitter but the facts are , Pujols is a better all around hitter . A better fielder, a better base runner and now a world champion. He also missed 24 games with an injury this year and still hit his share of homers. The mvp goes to the most valuable player , not just the best homerun hitter.

I'd have to say he would be quite close.  Albert Pujols is doing amazing things in a cardinal's uniform.  Each have their talents: Pujols=power, ichiro=speed/hits.  They both will have amazing hall of fame careers and are sure to break a few major records along the way.

Currently-----> Alex Rodriguez all the way!!! He has over 400 homers, and he is a really stong player. And, he plays good defense on 3B, and even though he swings at a lot of his pitches, that is what gave him all those homers!!!\n\nPast-----> Babe Ruth!!!

I'd say albert pujols, since he is only "officially" 26, but we all know the guy is like 47.  \n\nMy top 3 age 26 or younger:\n\nDavid Wright - 3b - NY Mets\nJake Peavy SP - San Diego Padres\nMiguel Cabrera - LF - Florida Marlins\n\n5 tool player at 3rd, stud strikeout king starting, and Miguel Cabrera is going to be an MVP on a winning team someday
