Albert Pujols is on fire! Got to love it

mesapsa

And all those people who said he was done, lol!

bishop

As a Cardinals fan, I was sorry to see him go, but glad we did not sign him to a 10 year contract like LA. I wish him well.

We did get back to the Series faster than he did

On fire? .265/.316/.485

The power is there, but I wouldn't say he is necessarily "on fire" by King Albert standards.

He is En Fuego if you just dumped 18.5K into his rookie card. Whatever makes you feel better I guess.

Can't wait till Pujols hit home run number 600, its going to be great!

Nor next.

To be fair he is having quite the year for a 46 year old.

mesapsa

Were probably about 2 1/2 yrs away from #600

Ya, it's good to see him come back a bit. I sure would like to see another 30 points on his average; his .319 lifetime won't hold unless he does.

And if he has been clean, I'd like to see him do it. Other than last year, he has been at the top of the charts year after year (although is BA has been down the past 4 years).

If Pujols is "on fire," what's that make Steve Pearce, Jose Altuve, Jose Abreu or Clayton Kershaw? I guess it is a matter of perspective and trying to justify a significant purchase.

#600 may be in the offing in the 2017 season. That's a long wait, and my guess is that his card prices will probably dip as much as his average over the next several seasons... #600 might just be enough impetus to get them close to current levels when/if it eventually occurs.

Good for him, I hope he continues to do well...

I have to beg to differ on this one.

He is becoming a compiler now!

I honestly don't think he will be playing more than 145 games a year here on out due to his age and the wear and tear he has put on those old joints. If you average his last three seasons together he gets 1.08 hits per game - 0.195266 Homeruns per game and 3.967 AB per game. At these rates he will hit 28 HR's per year that he plays 145 games. This would give him 605 HR's at the end of 2017. I just don't see him NOT going down with another major injury. And by major I mean time on the DL.

He is going to be pulled from games when his team is winning to save him for the next game and will be moving to DH to save him. As he ages his output will drop so the totals above will surely drop bit by bit each season.

His career batting average is going to tumble and if he really starts compiling it could go below .300. Though, he would really have to suck to do this. Anyhow, I just don't see him making it to 600 prior to the 2018 season.

itzagoner

too bad he only gets 19 games per season to bat against Houston.

bishop

I am glad the Cardinals offered him a strong 10 year contract to stay. He deserved that loyalty offer. But am overjoyed that the Angels saved us from it in the end

mesapsa

Well folks the good news here is when playing for the AL that he can DH from here on out to compile more stats! Heck with 7 yrs left on his contract even if he only gets say 21-24 HR's a year that will be 140 HR's added to the 511 he has now and say maybe 15 more this year he would have a total of +/- 670 home runs, then add in the fact that he will hit 3,000+++ hits! Not bad!

That's not good news. It's great news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dpeck100

Was $18,500 the price you paid?

mesapsa

The 2001 Bowman Chrome Auto PSA 10 will.be a $50,000 card in the future. Just imagine what an 1989 UD Griffey Jr card would have been worth if it was an auto limited to 500!!!! Doesnt matter what I spent on it, I had the money and have always wanted one so in my case the money was no object to me getting one.

PMKAY

Or not

mesapsa

Time will tell. Dont think Pujols ever did PED's, he will join Griffey Jr and company in the HOF in around 12 years. Will probably make it a point to be there for that!

FavreFan1971

I am on the fence on him using PED's. I do think he is 2-3 older than his birth cert says though. Either way he will make 600 on one leg or no legs. Then Angels will milk that out of him for sure.

I am trying to figure out what has depreciated faster the $17,900 I paid on my 2004 Saab in 2007 or 2001 Bowman Chrome PSA 10 Pujols discussed above. I can still sell my Saab for $8500.

mesapsa

I have no clue what the card is worth but just had to have one here.... Very limited, sensitive card, awesome card of an awesome player. Future hopefully will be good to this card.....

If I had to choose either for $8500 I'd lean towards your SAAB

Same here

gemint

With the DH, he can play until he's 70...in other words, he's got another 6-7 years left in him!
