Albert Pujols of the St.Louis I hear might be shut down the rest of the season do to a strained left calf. This would really suck as a Cardinals fan cause Pujols is the only player to ever play in 6 straight season with 30 plus home runs and 100 rbi's. Pujols yes does have 31 home runs this year but his rbi total is under the remarkable 100 rbi's as he has 94 and need 6. Still tho he will have continued 1 record which is 30 plus homers each of his first 6 season and almost 7 season now. IN yeard to come does any 1 out there season Pujols breaking the all time home run record that belongs to Barry Bonds? Does Pujols already disver.. to make the Hall of Fame for what he has done? ^ season with 30 plus home runs and 100 plus rbi's and well now 7 season with 30 plus home runs? I think in my personal option that Pujols should make the Hall of Fame for the GREAT numbers he has put up so far in his major league years that just started as Pujols hits his prime time!!

First of all, he needs 10 years as a player to make the Hall of Fame. If he continues anywhere near his current pace for another 5 years or so he will clearly make the Hall, but as of today he is not eligible.

Great all around player but if he is hurt, why risk further injury for a few stats. Cardinals will want him 100% for the start of spring training next season. It would be nice to see him get those extra rbi's he needs but would rather see him healthy than risk further injury

He's great, but I don't think he's a Hall of Famer yet. And let's face it 100 RBIs doesn't mean much anymore (definintely not remarkable). Lots of players have 100 RBIs. By his own admission he has had an "off" year.

When a team is out of the chase they will shut down a player at the end of the season for just about any reason. It is all about next year for the Cardinals and they want him at 100% when the season starts. he is worth too much to his team to take a chance at the end of this season just for the sake of numbers.

He will be in the HOF only if he continues his great numbers... he probably would not make it right now if he never played another game...
