Pujols is definately a beast & the real deal. To be quiet honest, I have always thought ARod was overrated & it's not because he plays on the Yankees. I sometimes think he is put on a pedistal because he is very GQ with the media. Sure, he has put up great numbers in the past, but he did it mainly in Texas. I don't believe he is worth the 4 or 5 million dollar salary he usually garnishes in the BBM. He gets a lot of pub because of his GQ, pre madonna looks & he plays for the most glamourus professional sports team in any professional sports. I'm not saying ARod isn't a solid player. I'm just saying that I believe he is way overhyped. The media wants this guy to do well because he is a glamourus player. They want to "get excited" everytime he hits a homerun. I firmly believe that a lot of ARod's past success was based off him playing in Texas, his looks, & the media's overblown hype. ARod is a good player, but he is NO Pujols.
