Right now, it looks like Barry's gonna break it in 2007, unless he doesn't sign (which wouldn't be terribly unlike him) or the commish tries to block it, or he's in jail.
The most likely to break his record would be ARod, barring Ken Griffey-type injuries, or Pujols, but it's WAY too early to tell with Pujols. ARod's already got more than 450, and he's 32 right now, so he should easily get to 700-something (6 more seasons of 40+ HRs should do it, plus an extra couple of years where he doesn't hit 40).
Pujols is 26 now, and he's got 250, but that's still a LONG ways off. Considering he's 26 though, you could say he hasn't yet entered his prime, and since he hit a mere 49 HRs last year (with time missed due to injury), that could go up to well over 50, maybe 60. It wouldn't be a stretch to say that he could get to 850 or 900, but that's way too far into the future. The scary thing about Pujols is that if he doesn't beat you with a HR, he'll beat you with something else, so youd better make it memorable like Brad Lidge did.

Alex Rodriguez, he will keep producing at his position then get shipped out of New York, and then towards the down slope of his career when is at 650 or so he will go and be a designated hitter somewhere and wrap up the next 150 homeruns or so and call it quits with 800+.

Barry Bonds will so long as he plays another season after this........ if not then I will have to say within the next 20 years the same man who holds the record now will keep his title, Hank Aaron!

Albert Pujols. He'll clean Barry Bonds' greasy stain off the home run record.

Alex Rodriguez. He was the fastest to hit 400. He's barely 30 yrs old, has probably 10 solid years left. He has a great shot to break Bonds' record, that is if he's not convicted for perjury and if his record is still intact once he breaks it. If he did steroids they should take that record away from him. Hank Aaron did it the hard way--clean.

If Albert Pujols keeps going like he has in his first 6 years he will shatter any number that BB ends up with.Also A-Rod has a great chance to surpass Barry as well.

(I assume you mean career home runs, without steroids it will be nearly impossible to top Bonds' single season record). So moving on.. If you do mean career, and you do the math, Alex Rodriguez who has 450+ at 31, or Pujols who has 250 at a very young 27, are both possibilities. God help us if it's Bonds and he beats Aaron. Wild card: Ryan Howard (?!)
