Predict Pujols' and Hamilton's 2014 numbers.

[Angel Oracle]

Just for once, I'd like to see Pujols not on the DL or playing hurt through a season!   

2010 was the most recent season that happened!

Pujols could turn into bengie molina.

 

Could Pujols possibly lose weight to take pressure of that foot ala David Ortiz style?

 

It's just amazing to me how much pop Ortiz still has and how little it appears Pujols has had during his last 2 years with us. I don't see Ortiz hitting many wussy slow grounders either.

Pfft. If hamilton bats in front of pujols, it will eliminate alberts gidp opportunities.

This is why we have to be careful with counting stats.

Good to be optimistic, however...

 

Pujols is old (perhaps beyond the certificate), heavy, and has been dealing with health problems for several years.  Even when healthy, he's a slug on the field.  He'll hit .250 and challenge HK for GIDP award.  At some point Scioscia will be told to move him out of the 3rd slot in the order.

 

Hamilton can still run and play OF.  Unless he exorcises the LHP demons, .260 will be likely.  After watching him hit against LHP last year, AL west teams are likely loading up on LH relievers.

 

$40M for 2 average hitters on the wrong side of 30.  Ugh.
