In 10 years, I can honestly see a debate about the best pure hitter of all time, and Albert will be one of maybe three guys discussed.
      Yup. Which is what makes this topic thoroughly boring.

          Manny gets my vote. Pujols is second.

          Now if we're talking pure as in no failed drug tests, it goes to Pujols.

                It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

                  Basically, a guy that has a 2:1 HR+BB:K ratio in a year with a .300+ average is a great pure hitter.
                  By this, Pujols is dominating.

                    In my opinion, Pujols and Ichiro have been the best hitters on the planet for years now.

                    After them there is A-Rod and Manny, then everyone else.

                      If we're talking top five then yeah, but he's just not as good as Pujols is.

                        Bonds should be in this conversation too

                          He should, and I would have put him above Pujols, but unfortunately no one else would accept that as he is not signed by a team and would just pick on me for that.

                          Because Bonds destroys that ratio I was speaking of.

                              Lets be honest here, I wouldn't consider him "pure" three years ago.

                                Bonds in 02 and 03 was the best hitter that I have ever seen in my life. You could not throw him a strike.
