Author Topic: Pujols wins NL MVP (Read 1902 times)

Some of the defensive metrics have Morgan so far out in front of other outfielders, it seems other wordly. So much so, in fact, that it begs disbelief.

I just can't warm up to Pujols. I know he's very good but there's something under the surface that has an aroma to it. Maybe it's the thought of 'roids (which isn't fair I guess). Plus, I'm a homer. If a Nat doesn't win it, "it's fixed".

I hope Pujols is clean. I know the guy goes great lengths to protect his image. I've heard if they're on the road and he has to take an elevator, he won't take one with just a woman as to avoid the image of him possibly cheating.

Basically he works around the clock to keep his image 100% clean.

Look at the impact he had on the Nationals. Look what happened to the Pirates after he left.

That is true, but I seriously doubt he deserves to be called one of the top five performers in the NL this season in terms of total production. He did rank 11th in the NL in WAR despite only playing like half the season, and more importantly to the voters, he's not on a good team and isn't a big name, so I seriously doubt he gets a shot. Maybe if he finished off the year.

His off the field conduct is sterling. I admire him greatly. He needs Tommy John, so he's playing with a torn UCL. Wouldn't HGH help prevent such a tear?

Maybe working a little too hard on it?

J Edgar Hoover worked really hard to ferret out homosexuals* from the ranks of govt too. Turns out he had a small issue of his own.

I don't know. From all I heard, the guy is a great person. He works with the disabled as he has a step-son/son (I believe he's adopted him) that is also handicapped.

I for one hope the guy always has a clean reputation.

He was/is a user and I will believe so until I see proof otherwise.

How could anyone provide proof otherwise?
