Bryce Harper and Albert Pujols

Bryce Harper is the most hyped prospect possibly of all time. He is just 19 years old. We all expected him to be good, but not this good. Harper has played in 8 games at the Major League level and has already reached super star status in the Washington DC area. In 28 at bats Harper has 8 hits and 3 RBI's. Harper has also drawn 5 walks and scored 3 runs. 5 doubles also are marked on Harper's baseball card, but probably the most significant event in his young career was an eventful steal of home. The link to the video is the following: HARPER'S STEAL.

Lets go from a 19 year old rookie outfielder to a 32 year old veteran first baseman. Albert Pujols hit his first home run of the season yesterday. After 112 at bats Pujols has 7 RBI's and just 22 hits. Accompany that with 10 runs scored and .196/.237/.295 slash line. Alex Rodriguez a hitter notorious for hitting home runs commented on the situation stating that once Pujols hits one home run he will then hit 5 or 6 more soon after. Home runs come in clusters. The home run is the following link: PUJOLS' HOMER

Vote in the poll on the side of this post. Who will hit more home runs this year: Harper or Pujols.
