First, Albert spouted off about losing the MVP to Ryan Howard last year. Now, he's spouting off about not getting to play in the All-Star Game.

From the games I have watched in the past, there is usually a player or pitcher who is held out in case the game goes to extra innings (except for the game in Milwaukee that ended in a tie). He was there in the first place because of his manager, so I don't know why he is angry at him. Get past his wife and her child, and there isn't much to salute Albert the person. With his whining about him, he should opt out and sign with the Yankees. He'd be a good fit in that clubhouse.

 

I'm sure George would love to have him. So would most Yankee fans.

Any team would love to have him. He is a great competitor that is probably why he is so upset. He would have loved to have a shot to win the game.

I consider myself a fan of D-Lee, but there isn't a non-Cubs fan or non-Cubs employee in America that would say they think Lee is better than Pujols. Factor in age, power, consistency...not close.

 

D-Lee is a really nice player, but he is not Albert Pujols. I appreciate your Cub loyalty, but really, this one isn't close. How old is Lee? 31?

D-Lee will be 32 before the season's end...about 5 years older than Albert. Again -- not close.

Not only that Pujols' consistency has been unmatched by a player of his age. Lee is a very good player but not in Pujols' league.

I don't know, I can think of another 27 year old that has averaged 40 / 100 / 100 the last 3 years. :sssh:

How does Soriano's numbers match up with Fat Albert?

Pujols has done it every single year and hit over .300 in the process....

How about over the past 6 year average?

 

BA: .332, 41 HR, 126 RBI, and 125 Runs.

 

 

That is his averages for his first 6 years in the league. I don't think anybody in the game today can match that.

If I took my few days off to travel to San Francisco, I would definately want to play. Players want to play.

Pujols has done it every single year and hit over .300 in the process....

 

Did you see the winking icon at the end? I don't think A.D. is in the same league as Pujols, just having some fun with one of our resident Cardinal fans.

I knew you were having fun, just wanted to make sure everyone else knew the difference between him and Pujols.:thumb:

How does Soriano's numbers match up with Fat Albert?

 

For their careers? Horribly.

 

Pujols' average is nearly 50 points higher.

In slightly fewer games Pujols has over 100 runs scored more.

He has 50 some hits more.

Pujols has more doubles.

Over 40 more home runs.

Over 200 more rbi (so that a total of about 300 more runs produced).

An On-base percentage almost 100 points higher.

 

Again, they match up horribly. Oh, and by the way, Pujols is 4 years younger.

You want a comparison for Soriano, try this one. I've adjusted for the difference in games played to make it equal...

 

Soriano averages .66 run per game.

Dunn averages .63 run per game.

 

Soriano averages .21 home runs per game.

Dunn averages .25 home runs per game.

 

Soriano averages .57 rbi per game.

Dunn averages .58 rbi per game.

 

Soriano averages .24 walks per game.

Dunn averages .68 walks per game.

 

Soriano averages .87 strikeouts per game.

Dunn averages 1.14 strikeouts per game.

 

Soriano has an on-base percentage of .328.

Dunn has an on-base percentage of .377.

 

Soriano has a slugging percentage of .512.

Dunn has a slugging percentage of .516.

 

Soriano has a batting average of .282.

Dunn has a batting average of .247.

 

And of course, Dunn is 4 years younger. :sssh:

And Like I said, I never said Lee over a carear, I said over the last 3 years
