Pitchers can be so volatile from year to year -- look at Prior -- that I would rather have Pujols who's done nothing but drive in 120+ runs, hit over .325 (except his second year), hit 35+ HR (except his second year), and produced 130+ runs the last two years. Sure I guess he could fall off the face of the Earth next year, but I'll take my chances on that happening before getting the next Prior like fall off any day of the week when like he said you can get a pitcher putting up numbers similar to Prior's two rounds later.
Pujols past his prime at 24?
Age isn't everything in reference to Alex, Vlad, Beltran or really anyone.
You don't really believe Pujols is 24 do you?
I agree. I dont take pitchers in the 1st 2 rounds but I would be tempted to grab Santana with the last couple picks of the 1st round in a dynasty league.
