I doubt it, Pujols is already having injury problems and he won't play long enough to break it.

He is certainly capable of it, but there are obstacles standing in his way. First, he is a team player, and yes, that's an obstacle. He hits for average as well as power. Sometimes the dinger just isn't there. A-Rod has a good average, but he's never been known for it. Pujols is. Also, there are doubts about Albert's age. There are many other factors that could slow him down too, but my gut feeling is that he'll definitely get over 500 career HR's, but anything after that is questionable at this point. It's just too early to tell.

At this point in time Pujols is 27 and has 1344 hits 282 hr 861 rbi and a career .332 batting average. At the same point in his career Arod had 1535 hits 345 hr 990 rbi and a career .308 average. Arod is now hitting the prime of a power hitters career (32-35) so Pujols would have to put up monster numbers to be all time.

He would have to hit 40+ HR's per year...for the next 14 years!!
And thats just to break Barry's mark, let alone ARod's future mark.
It's possible, but not likely.
Of all the current players, he is one of three that at least has a chance of doing it, with the other 2 being ARod and Miguel Cabrera.

i think he will be the next Home Run king in baseball because Albert Pujols is to good for Alex Rodriguez

It depends how many more "contract years"Arod has left..That seems to motivate him to play better..Pujols plays consistent year in and year out.Sure, last year was a down year for Albert,but I attribute that to him not having any protection in the lineup;thus not getting any pitches to drive..He'll be back,and he'll be better then Arod...That is until Arods' next "contract year"comes.

i have to say he could break arrons mark but with A Rod it is hard to tell i,m not buying the 850 above there lmao thats not even realistic bt i would say around 800 is possible and i see Pujols ending around 760 if he does,nt have any big injuries

His new ball park is way less living house run friendly. His batting standard ought to circulate up, yet his 40 HR seasons only must be over, pondering his 3 twelve months offensive slide. concepts, if all of us can beat those odds that's Pujols, yet we are going to could desire to verify.

Albert already seems like he is in a decline. He has had nagging injuries for the last couple years. This at a still young age.

this shouldn't even be a question, he is still like 400 some or more homeruns away from breaking the record, so ask this question like 6 or 7 years from now and we can debate. Right now this question shouldn't even come out of a person's mouth.
