do you think so?

No, I really don't. His pace so far has been remarkable, but he's still a very long way away and so many things can go wrong.

The advantage that Pujols has over Howard is that the two are almost the same age, but Albert has 6 full years under his belt. Going into this season, Albert has 250 HRs already, Ryan only 82. So Albert has the advantage there. So:in his first 6 full seasons, Pujols has 250 HRs. He'll have to stay healthy and stave off age and wear 'n' tear, and produce at that same level for 12 more seasons, and he'll be there. He'll also be 39! Goes to show you how hard hitting 700 HRs is. Not only do you have to be great, but you need an iron constitution as well.

I think Ryan Howard has a better chance than Albert Pujols. But yeah, Albert Pujols does have a chance. So does A-Rod. I just think out of everyone (besides Berroids Bonds) Ryan Howard has a better chance than anyone at taking Hammerin Hank's record.

Pujols is currently at 250 HR's at 27 years old. If he were to play until at least 40, he'd need to average 39 HR's per season - that's to get to 755. The question is, what will the HR record be by then. Barry Bonds will most probably break it and Alex Rodriguez might break that record.

actual. If he performs until eventually hes 40 like Ken Griffey, and assuming he hits an everyday of 35 homers in line with year (and there is not any rationalization why he can't do it) he cud hit a minimum of seven hundred by technique of the time he's 38. i don't think of he has had his perfect season yet. There are nonetheless good issues to assume from this guy.

So far he has stayed reasonably healthy. By St. Louis moving him to first base full time that should help him. His age, 26, his 250 homers already, and the fact that he seems to not have real bad habits at the plate leans towards his being a solid chance at breaking the record IF he continues to play until his late thirties or early forties.

it's almost impossible to predict that but certainly if he continues on the pace that he's at injury-free and teams continue to pitch to him he has a decent shot...the major question will be whether or not the cards will be able to get enough quality bats around him to protect him from the "barry treatment" as i like to call it

I think he will be one of the first players to 800+ homeruns.

no I think Soriano might pick it up and take it. Even though he's not with the Rangers he's got something to prove to them
