I have 50 sbr points that says no and will give you two to one odds. One major problem is teams don't really need to pitch to him because no one is ever on base when he gets to the plate. If the angels had a good lead off hitter who could get on and get to second when pujols batted he'd be more successful.

ok, I will save this thread. Under 30 I owe you 25 pts end of season, over 30 you owe me 50

30 HRs is about the only number that's attainable of those.

300 would be hard for him to reach now, he would need to hit about 320 the rest of the year, better is he can't solve his plate discipline issues, over the last two year he's manages over 320 in only 3 separate months.

100 RBI will be tough unless, not only he, but alot of other guys in the lineup figure out their hitting issues. and even best case i don't think this offense and the way Scioscia manages it, is capable of that kind of offensive production.

30 HR would mean that he would need to hit a HR about every 19PA, even with his struggles last year he average one every 17 PA, and that was having a month he manages just 2 HR in 110 PA.

Mark Trumbo @ 1st base, Trout @ left, Bourjous in center, bench Wells, and never sign Pujols would have been sufficient offseason moves. I do not fault the Angels for trying compete with the Rangers. I never thought Pujols would pull an Adam Dunn though.
