After 17 years in baseball

Albert Pujols' numbers project thusly (he will be 37 years old -- assuming he was actually born in 1980)

2650+ games
2125 runs
2125 RBI
760 homers
.333 lifetime BA
1.037 lifetime OPS

Barry Bonds:
Through 2716 games (18 1/2 seasons)

1843 RBI
703 homers
.300 lifetime BA
1.053 lifetime OPS

Pujols is a phenom, he's basically starting off a career unlike anyone in history and is on pace to possibly becoming the greatest player of all time.

The problem is, it's way too soon no one knows what will happen next season or 10 seasons from now. I'm not saying he's a fluke, I found is just retarded when people said after his rookie year that he'd never repeat such a season, then said the same in his 3rd year.

But lets not forget how many players were supposed to go on to become the best or amongst and have failed miserably some by their own faults like strawberry, others by injuries like Griffey.

Bonds is already there, the 756 is pretty much secure unless something horrible happens to him. But his last 4 seasons have been even more impressive because of his age, though ofcourse the cloud of steroids looms over these last 4 seasons as well. The numbers he has put up, the fear he has put into all MLB pitchers is unrivaled, the OBP, Slugging, BA, OBPS, The walks.

I don't like the projection of any stat in general. It was like at the begining of the year, when they talk about all these closers getting so many saves, and they projected like three people to have 70 saves by the end of the season. It's bullshit.
