It has nothing to do with what team he is on. Pujols is a better player any way you look at it.Originally Posted by Astrobuddy

Hype baby, hype. LOOK AT THE STATS.
M2 , ask yourself this. Which team would you rather have? The Reds or the Astros? I thought so....

Berkman is a great, great player.Originally Posted by Astrobuddy
But please don't embarass him by trying to compare him to Pujols.
There is no major league hitter in Pujols class.
That's just the way it is.
You kill me, 35 years of watching the Astors has cemented the fact that I'd rather be the 1982 Reds than any Astro team.M2 , ask yourself this. Which team would you rather have? The Reds or the Astros? I thought so....

Wayne Krivsky inherited an unqualified mess two months ago and it's going to take time and hard work to turn it around.
So, if you think some silly "my team is better than your team, nyah, nyah, nyah" argument is going to have any effect on me, guess again.
Fact remains that the Astros offense will cool off and the starting pitching is then and the bullpen looks lousy and there isn't much help from the system that the club could plug in to fill those numerous holes.
I don't think the Astros will be a lousy team, but they sure don't look like a viable contender to me either.

Berkman is absolutely in Pujols' class. To say otherwise is just to pick on Astrobuddy. Without Bonds, they are #1 and #2 in MLB.

Even with Bonds and his creme, they probably still are 1 and 2.
Berkman over A-Rod? I don't think so.Originally Posted by Falls City Beer
I like Berkman a lot, but there's a dozen-plus players I'd rather have and the Cardinals happen to have two of them.

I agree with this, but I don't think that Pujols is more famous because he is a product of a "hype machine". I think it is because he plays for a better team that has had greater success throughout the entirety of his (still relatively short) career.Originally Posted by Falls City Beer
