“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.”

“Freddie played the last 4 months of the MLB season with a bad finger. He still managed 20+ HRs with a good enough average where he did not hurt you. Now with a stacked Braves lineup, Freeman should easily be a 30/100 player with all-around talent. Freeman was the MVP of Spring Training in 2012.”

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

“Freeman is a great fallback option if you miss out (or pass) on Goldschmidt and Rizzo.”

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”
