:Tries To FInd Better Pickin's:
I guess 'cause there are certain talents that rise above such figgerin's. Not sayin' (I love apostrophes) there will be no effect at all, but I'll believe it when I see it that the AL turns Pujols from a monster into a quasi-beast. The age-arc thing when combined with a variety of nagging injuries, now that's a different story. To me the following age-arc DOES seem possible:
Inner circle HOFer peak (prime)
Inner circle best 2-3 hitters in MLB (current)
leads to:
One of the top 10 hitters in MLB (in a few years)
One of the top 20 hitters in MLB (in five years)
Let's hope the Pujols impact plays out that way.
