“He went through an adjustment period to start his first season in the A.L., but that will not be a problem this year. ”

 

“Pujols started out the 2012 season on the slower end of things. Eventually he picked up on hitting American League pitchers and was able to mash like the BEAST he is. Now with Josh Hamilton protecting him in the lineup, 40 HR/110 RBI should come with his eyes closed.”

“Uggla was a huge disappointment in 2012 going down from 6 straight seasons of 30+ HRs to finish with 19. Dan decided to drop 10 LBS to get into better playing shape and maybe whip his bat across the strike zone a little quicker. Hard to imagine him hitting less than 20 HRs in back-to-back seasons.”

“Age is the only reason I rank Votto above Pujols. Both are the ideal 1st Baseman. They do it all.”

“Uggla's strikeout rate is simply trending in the wrong direction.”

“I am on the fence on Albert Pujols for 2013. I think he has some left in the tank and is the oldest of the first round projected players at age 33. The positives are that he will hit in an incredible Angel lineup that will offer plenty of offensive protection and opportunity. Where my concern is that he had a career high in at bats in 2012 with 607 at bats. He is more like a 550 ? 570 at bats hitter. Is he also in a state of power decline? His home runs fro...”

 

“Had rough AL initiation last April, but was vintage Albert after that”

 
 

“improved line up may help increase his RBI and Runs Scored numbers, but AVG is an anchor”
