Um, I'd like to know what stats you're looking at, because from what I can tell Bonds has Pujols beaten in every important category: OBP, slugging, and of course OPS because of OBP and slugging. I'm assuming that you're talking about RBIs, runs, hits, average.. these are meaningless statistics because they're situational.
Pujols has as much of a chance at the MVP as Sheffield.

Ok. Let me get this straight.

AVG, runs, and hits are situational. Please explain.
A hit is a hit, and a run is a run. I mean you won't get a run easy. Nobody is going to walk a guy when the base is loaded. Runs% on PB's are low. It doesn't matter what the situation is, and hitting more increases your average. Perhaps we should throw them out because they're not "important" when evaluating a player.
Now I personally think Runs are just as important as any other stat. You need to score some runs.
You disregard hits, runs, RBI, average, yet you acknowledge SLG and OBP. SLG = you have to get a hit. The more TBs, the better. But how can that be? You said a hit is meaningless.
Next is OBP. You have to get on base in some possible way. Which this case brings up the hits, and AVG once again, and runs. You have to get on base to score a run. I feel it's pointless to get on base, if you're not going to come around to score. I don't think it makes that big of a difference to a pitcher when he's focused.
