Is there really any doubt which of these players has the best shot? For those too dumb to figure it out, that is a rhetorical question.

Pujols days are numbered .... If he doesn't do it this year , he never will..... And It looks , more and more every day , that he will not .... He is getting FAT , as the steroids wear off, so tha t soon , he will be as Fat as Prince Fielder, and a LOT worse hitter . He will not be able to get around on the fastball, and his days will be numbered as a " Premiere Hitter " ....

Dude you must be some jealous cubs fan....Pujols is the greatest player of this generation and is doing it clean. Don't hate just because whatever team you care to root for gets schooled whenever the Cards are in town.....GO CARDS!

It is obvious you know nothing about baseball or steroids. Why is it so difficult to imagine a ballplayer doing something by being clean. Pujols is a big man NATURALLY. Get a life!!!!!!!!

Quite obviously, you, Steve, are a flubs fan or an arrogant and obnoxious idiot (I would prefer another word but have to keep it G rated). Pujols is the greatest player in the game today and will probably go down in history as the greatest of all time. You apparently don't know a thing about the game because if you did, you wouldn't open your dumb mouth. He does not do steroids - in fact, he may be one of the few that isn't doing them. He is truly great - on the field and off - and if you can't stand it, tough! His career stats are more than remarkable, his current year stats are amazing and he will continue to excel at a game by being a truly decent man - as opposed to the prima donnas and jerks like loony zambrano and ANY and all Flubs players, steroid boy manny, and all the rest. Get over yourself and go do your research BEFORE you open your trap.

The best shot at the Triple Crown ? ... Easy ... Manny Rameriez .... If and when he gets a full season in , in the national League , with it's host of Minor league pitchers , he has a GREAT shot of taking it . As smart a hitter , as he is Dumb, He knows how to set up pitchers, and withh Clean u p , IF .. A Big IF ... He decides that it's worth his while .

Among the list of Triple Crown possibles the only one that could come close is Albert Pujols. The way he hits is incredible. He hits for power but he also uses his head and instead of a homer or a strike out, he takes the pitches that he gets and makes the best of it. He can hit for power to all fields and the defense doesn't use a "shift" on him because he uses the entire field. Pujol's career marks are incredible. He has hit over 30 home runs and has over 100 RBIs in every one of his nine seasons in the majors. His batting average is close to .300. He's the man!!

P-a-b-l-o S-a-n-d-o-v-a-l. I don't know when, but it's been a long time since such a natural "see-the-ball, hit-the-ball" hitter has come along. I am prejudice, tho', as a lifelong Giants fan.

Pujols is the only player in Baseball right now that even has a chance at the triple crown. He is # 1 in Homers # 1 in RBI and will be #1 in Average before the end of the season. Its hard for anyone to win the triple crown besides Pujols as long as he is playing the game at his current level. He has been doing it for 9 years and is not slowing down so everyone just needs to sit back and watch a truely great clean player make history one year at a time.
