Re: Photo's of Yonder Alonso from Sarasota last night
Am I the only one who thinks Yonder looks a bit like Albert Pujols in that first photo?

Re: Photo's of Yonder Alonso from Sarasota last night
Albert Pujols is a future HOF'er. Please don't start the comps for Alonso as a perennial MVP candidate.

Re: Photo's of Yonder Alonso from Sarasota last night
FWIW, I'm not comparing Yonder to Pujols as a player. I said he looks similar to Pujols in the face.

Re: Photo's of Yonder Alonso from Sarasota last night
Looks like his build very similar to Votto's. Though that crouch he's got looks a little Pujols-esque, as does his soft face.

Pujols has a soft face? I always thought it was rather severe. Yonder does have a rather soft face though, almost like he still has baby fat.

Re: Photo's of Yonder Alonso from Sarasota last night
To me, Yonder projects more as Nick Johnson with a bit more power. Still a damn fine player though. I don't think anyone compares favorably to Pujols, really in the history of the game.
