Who do you think will retire with better career stats?
I'm talking the gaudy glamor stats, not the sabermetric stuff.
Pujols and Cabrera both started very young and have Triple Crown type numbers nearly every season.
Pujols always plays through nagging injuries, so that could impact his longevity.
Cabrera is a little chunky, and that may or may not impact the length of his career.
So if you had to choose, who will finish with more mind-blowing stats?
Albert Pujols, age 33
13 seasons
.323 avg.
2,272 hits
479 home runs
1,452 rbi
1,388 runs
1.018 OPS
Miguel Cabrera, age 30
11 seasons
.319 avg.
1,841 hits
325 home runs
1,152 rbi
982 runs
.957 OPS
