He might not be as good as Albert Pujols

Re: Matt "hey remember me" Adams
Has anyone even started a Pujols signing thread yet? I know that a new forum category or something was requested but even if that were denied, seems like a thread of its own might not be a bad idea.

Not a bad idea. Because Pujols sure does look old these days. He's wearing out sooner and sooner every year it seems. His body is beginning to take on the look of that kid in the minors we got. What's his name - Mark Adams? And that body type, we all know, is not going to hold up.Richie Allen wrote:Has anyone even started a Pujols signing thread yet?

At this point I'd offer Albert 1 dollar more than Matt Holliday and call it good.

When I think Matt Allan, I think 'Cheeseburger'!
So what's your favorite cheeseburger? I know not many people will agree with me, but that new $6 Steakburger at Carl's Jr. kicks butt. Really awesome!

Re: Matt "hey remember me" Adams
The guy has eerily similar numbers through AA as Prince Fielder and Ryan Howard.
Obviously this means Fielder and Howard have eerily similar minor league numbers, how did those two end up as different as they are in the majors? Is it because numbers alone can't project a player like that? And I keep hearing if Adams can hit as well as Howard, why is that such a stretch?
Adams spent a full season at AA at 22, his third year in baseball. Howard didn't reach AA till 24 after three years in A, his fourth year in the minors. There's 100 point OPS difference there which is hardly insignificant, but I wouldn't be shocked if those went up for Adams if he spent another year in AA.
