Baseball: Best Hitter in Baseball

As far as the best hitter in baseball, I think it's in transition right now. Bonds is handing the torch to Albert Pujols. Pujols is going to be a monster in the league for a long time. It doesn't hurt his numbers either being surrounded by Edmonds, Rolen, Renteria, etc. The Cards picked up Reggie Sanders too.

They need to find some other way to find all these illegal tests. Who knows how they are cheating the system right now.

On the season so far i will go with Pujols...

Bonds is the best player to have at bat this year, but Pujols is the best hitter. Or maybe Thome.

I think Bonds is the most _valuable_ hitter; Ill say that for him, since we can't really know how good he is at this point with how few real at bats hes been getting.

But Pujols is the best overall hitter in the game right now.

That's a great point Cannon. Bonds has monster numbers and he's lucky if he gets 1 or 2 pitches to hit per at bat. He's going to shatter his own walk record, his own intentional walk record, his on-base % is .601, 143 points ahead of the next guy (Todd Helton .458). It's hard to fathom what his #'s would look like if he was actually pitched to, he either gets the int. walk or they pitch around him. I think the Giants need another star hitter to bat behind him so they wouldn't be so quick to put him on base, who's afraid of Edgardo Alfonzo?

Albert Pujols hit his 30th homerun tonight against the Expos.

Pujols became the first player in Major League history to begin his career hitting at least 30 home runs in his first 4 seasons.

Also.....

Thome hit his 32nd tonight and Bonds hit #28 and 29.

Edmonds hit 29.

pujols by a long shot. he doesnt hit as many homers as bonds( even though hes beatin him this year) but he hits the ball bater & more often

Wow, Bonds is right at the top for homers, even though he's had like half the at bats. TThats skill.
