How many games should Pujols start?

[Angel Oracle]

Being that he’s somewhere between 41 and 43?

[Justin]

It depends how well he is playing.

Can't play well if you don't play.

162 just so I can see the AW reaction.

[Erstad Grit]

I'd say begin with starting against lefty SP and Ohtani's pitching starts. 

Depending on how our outfield is doing Upton could take away those at bats at DH while inserting a different LF.

No.

If he were physically able to start all 162 games, I'd be impressed.

[Torridd]

Off the top of my head, I was generous with 60-69 games, with many of those at DH. However, I cite so many if a) he's healthy b) relatively contributive (I'd say even a .230+ if he's still hitting homers c) how hot others like Walsh, Ohtani and others are who play 1B/DH

I still think Pujols is a good defensive 1B man and he can't be seen as getting too many potential at-bats as a pinch hitter. Given his stature and it's his last season, I think, given the three factors above, he shouldn't be made to languish on the bench.

Ill let Lou Diamond (named after the famous Marine) answer.

The Mayans knew how many games Pujols should start.

How many games should Pujols start?

How many games do you want everyone batting behind him hitting ONLY hitting singles?

The sooner he retires the better in my opinion.

I AGREE

Pujols is older than his listed age. Anybody hear about this? Sounds like a thread should be made about it tbh

I'd do it but I'm working on a "favorite uniform" thread.

daygloman is a legacy poster from the good ol' OMB days, so he can post however he wants.

As few games as possible. That said, Pujols has consistently very good in the clutch, so he has some value as a pinch-hitter, especially with men on base.

I voted <40, but think more likely he starts somewhere in the 60-80 game range, with another 20 games or so as a PH.

I'm working on one too after I post the "Trout has never won a playoff series" thread.

Yes, right after we trade Rengifo and 4 minor leaguers for an ace.

Fixed it for you again.  You're having a bad day.
