Howard for Pujols. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4994845 It's the sort of thing that is much more likely to happen in fantasy baseball than in real life, but according to sources, an idea has been kicked around the Phillies' organization internally, with discussions about proposing a swap of slugger Ryan Howard for St. Louis superstar Albert Pujols. It's not fully clear whether the Phillies actually have approached the Cardinals with the idea, and even if St. Louis were to seriously consider such an offer, executives with the Cardinals would have to swallow very hard before dealing Pujols, a player widely regarded as the best in the sport. |

I'd stop being a Cardinals fan if they did this. |

I like Howard, he is an RBI machine and a St Louis native, but you just don't trade the best player in the game. |

Being in the middle of Cardinal country, they would be PISSED if this happened, but I also know that a lot of them are concerned that they cannot afford Pujols when it is time to give him another deal. |

I wouldn't buy that. I know St. Louis is a smaller market, but that stadium is almost always filled, they have a pretty far reaching fanbase (much of Missouri, southern Illinois, Iowa, western Tennessee and Arkansas), and they do very well with merchandising (especially Pujols items). They can't afford to get rid of him. |

I don't buy it either. But I have had several Cardinal fans express that concern to me. |

Maybe St.L brass saw the SI cover that he's off the juice and want to get rid of him before he starts hitting .243. |

Howard will have markedly better overall offensive stats than Pujols throughout the remainder of his career. Mark it down and print it in advance (much like CSFMB Guy's Oscar predictions). |

Pujols is the juicer and the better player. BA does matter. OBP does matter. Walks matter. Strikeouts matter too. |
