Of course I think he has what it takes I mean just look at his career numbers so far and if he stays at a steady pace of how he has played his career there is no doubt he will have the record by the end of his playing days; however, I do agree with some other people saying that someone else may have the record so it wouldn't exactly be Aaron he will be chasing.

I dont know.. pitchers are soon going to find his hole up and away and exploit it. if they dont find it, they will just simply pitch around him 2 out of 4 at bats a game. what im worried about is his health. is he a roider? extremely possible. look at the way he stands in the box though. see his knees? thats alot of wear and tear on a body part as important as the knees.
my other wonder is will he even be chasing Hank Aaron? does anybody here think there is enough integrity in barry bonds that he wouldnt take another injection and get the last 34 home runs? thats one question. another is Arod. the new york fans arent going to be like this forever, and eventually he will find his comfort zone and go back to 40, 45 a year. weve all heard the statiscics of most home runs before the age of 30, and how he is on pace for over 800. so we'l see. but my answer is no he wont break the record

Early indications are that Pujols could challenge the record, but I don't think it's safe to assume that he'll be chasing Aaron by the time he gets close to that number.
Alex Rodriguez just turned 30 years old, and he has 454 homers. Assuming he plays until his late 30s at anything approaching his skill level, he should be the one holding that mark with somewhere in the neighborhood of 800 homers.
I'm not saying Pujols might not be the eventual record-holder, but I don't think it's Aaron whose record he will be chasing.

All he has to do is stay on this pace throughout his career......and play for 20 years. And yes, he will take the all time record. Now, single season, well, he will need better protection in the line up for that.

in terms of consistency, If he can universal 30 homeruns over the subsequent 10 years, he would be close. it rather is not any longer undemanding however. 10 years of consistency interior the an prolonged time of 30-40. Alex is tailing off immediately. in my view, it rather is achievable. yet i do no longer see him hitting 40 homeruns via 38.

Yes, he most likely will pas 755 but I think AROD will pass it before Pujols gets there.

Yes....but....you have to wonder about im. His trainer wa the same as Jason Grimsley....he had a mysterious back injury a week before Grimsley came out and said the feds had been investigating him for 2 weeks. I think Fat Albert took that time to get clean...his numbers are back to normal now...hate to say it, but I think he is one of them!!!

Yes he does as long as he can morph into Bobby Bonds.
