Pujols went 0-for-15 at the dish in the series as the Indians swept the Angels. The future Hall of Famer's walk rate has been going in the wrong direction for years now and this season he hasn't produced much power to make up for it with a pedestrian 14 homers. The good news is he still remains a fixture in the No. 3 spot in the lineup behind Mike Trout, which means he's still on a 93-RBI pace even in a poor hitting campaign.

True.....but Stanton in his prime is not close to Pujols in his prime.Magneto2.0 wrote:Pujols was 5 years older than Stanton is now when he signed with the Angels.Socnorb11 wrote:JoeMcKim wrote:If you factor in his value vs. what he's getting paid then he's probably the LVP. After how bad the long term deals for Pujols, Howard and Fielder went not sure why teams continue to give players deals longer then 5 years.
Which is why you think twice before trading for Stanton, who has 10 years left on his deal.

How long can the Angels pencil Pujols in the lineup for? He looks 100% cooked

They have nowhere else to turn. But this is only going to get more and more ugly

Pujols will remain until replaced by a player not of woman born, and after Birnam Wood comes to Angel Stadium.Jocephus wrote:TJ

All the 1985 and 1987 Cards needed from Jack Clark was about 100 games/year.
Stanton easily makes that.
"If only" President Moe had the bucks back that he squandered on Dexy's Midgame Blunders and Tatman Cecil.
But, whatever would the team do without those guys?

Albert Pujols continued to put his extended slump in the rearview mirror on Tuesday night, launching a three-run home run and knocking in five runs to power the Angels to a 7-1 series-opening win over the Phillies at Angel Stadium.

Re: Shaikin: Angels Not Buying That Pujols Is LVP
TT bringing up the 2003 Cardinals got me looking at Pujols' career. In 2004, he hit .331/.415/.657 with a 12 percent walk rate and 7 percent strikeout rate. And that, by WAR, was only his fourth best season as a Cardinal. Incredible. I think I took Pujols for granted that he would remain a machine throughout his career.
