Been scoreboard watching lately, and I see Pujols flied out to deep left, Pujols doubles off the wall to right-field, Pujols flies out to deep left, Pujols doubles off right-field wall, etc...I have him in two leagues and his lack of power is killing me.

Perhaps he signed his huge contract, got off the juice, and now he's nothing more than a doubles hitter!!!

stranger things have happened.

His OPS has been on a 4 year decline.1.116 in '08; 1.099 in '09; 1.011 in '10 and .906 in '11.Admittedly most players would be very happy to have an OPS north of 1.000 for 3 of the last 4 years but the fact remains that Pujols has lost more than 200 points off his OPS in 4 years. Not saying he's done but something that bears watching for sure!

there has to be some guys out there who got Pujols and Stanton in the first 2 rounds

All set with power!

I'm accepting all wagers, I say he hits 30+ homers this year.

You "say" or "hope"?

Even with 30 hrs, Pujols probably wouldn't even crack the top 10-15...not good for an early first rounder.

I'll take wagers that he won't even be drafted in the first round next year!

Cut him now.
