I'm just saying I think he's a bit overrated because home runs have become such a huge deal. Ballparks like Houston are even being built to allow more home runs. I'm not saying I don't want Sosa or anything but I just wish he would concentrate more on trying to hit for average. If Albert Pujols went up to the plate and tried to hit it 550 feet every time, I bet he could hit 60 home runs, but he'd stirke out about 160 time in the process. Its just not worth it. I've watched Pujols a lot this year, especially when I go to Busch I really pay attention. He's unbelievable! And I hate the Cardinals. The guy NEVER strikes out. Putting the ball in play is such a plus compared to striking out.

I disagree. If you make solid contact with a controlled swing you will hit more home runs. If you use a controlled swing you will have a better chance at making contact. I think Pujols has the right approach he may never hit 60 (or maybe he will) but I his average will be higher than Sosa.
