Congrats to Pujols

Yes, Derrek Lee had ever so slightly better stats. The difference between him and Pujols for 2005 was almost negligible, but Pujols has earned this award, he's put in 4 years of playing second fiddle to Bonds. Because of his superior track record and other details of the projection system, Pujols should do the same thing again.

2006: .329/.426/.632

While Lee should return to earth: .282/.377/.534

And the return of Bonds? Perhaps the toughest to project. Will 2006 be the year baseball catches him for you-know-what? 50 games if they do. W-A-G for Bonds: 400 PA of .306/.436/.599. A statistical projection, the only tweaking I did was remove a lot of the intentionals. Pitchers should test him out in 2006, unless he proves that age, injury, and tough steroid testing is no match for a man from Krypton.
