The one good thing Scott Boras can do is force Albert Pujols to be his client, and force Pujols onto the free agent market. Pujols would be the first $300,000,000 man and be well worth it.

PROTIP-A-Rod was already the first 300 mil guy nice try tho.

Another pro-tip: Pujols is not as good as a-rod.

And the numbers you have to substantiate this claim are...?

Does the fact that A-Rod will finish with more home runs and RBI's than Pujols AND still play a harder defensive position than the lounge at first base, all while switching positions from Short to 3rd, AND being in an oppressive media market qualify? Because i'm pretty sure that does it. I hate the Yankees more than any other franchise in sports, but I still have to say that A-Rod is the best player in history, to this point.

Sure Pujols had a better year but A-Rod has been playing longer and has some seniority over Albert. Also A-Rods 2007 numbers ( .314/54 HR's/156 RBIs/.422 OBP) are far better than Pujols career year which was .331/49/137 back in 06. A-Rod also has speed which Pujols doesn't have. Those are just the stats who is better is up to you.

Albert Pujols post season:
.323/.429/.593 in 53 playoff games

A-rod:
.279/.361/.483 in 39 playoff games.

A-Rod 'sure' is better.

I think the Cards haven't been spending a lot the past few years because they're saving up for when Albert becomes a free agent. And I hope to god they can resign him or I'll fucking RAGE.

Because MVPs are the GREATEST way to evaluate how good a player is.

ARod is the best player in the AL. Pujols is the best player in the NL. Can't we just all be friends?

Albert Pujols plays some of the best 1B in the game.

Also: he came up as a 3B (if not for the elbow I'm 100% sure he'd be a better 3B than A-Rod) and played a lot of LF also. Hell, the guy has innings at 2B under his belt.

A-Rod doesn't have a retarded daughter. His genes are superior, ergo he is better.

That's his step-daughter.

And, anyway, A-Rod has shitty taste in women; Madonna, his "soul mate" looks like the bastard child of Skeletor and Pumpkinhead.

Oh, okay, thanks for letting me know up front that you have no fucking clue how to evaluate players properly. Saves me a lot of time arguing with you later.

Not "some of". He plays THE best 1B in the game. Teixeira has been dethroned at this point, though it's still a really close race.

Albert = best player in the game.

no argument. not even close.

This is the one place the Cards' ownership won't be stingy because they can't afford to be. If he leaves, they won't be able to fill enough seats in their shiny new stadium.
