BP's 20 Biggest Stars of 2010-2019

[JoshHamilton]

Pujols

I can see how he makes the list. Taking steroids will probably help him excel into the later part of the next decade.

On the other hand, his real age is probably closer to 35, so maybe not :lol:

Even if Pujols only has 5 good years that is still 3-4 MVPS and a decade of 350+ homers... Him playing 5 years will out perform some of the guys 10 in front of him

Well, while some on the list baffle me due to the fact that they haven't sniffed a Major League game yet, I reckon its nice to know that my favorite player made the "so close but now its time for cookies n Koolaid" list. And yeah, I know its all about projection, so I know why those guys are on the list. Thats what prospecting and guessing is all about.

This list is so off base it isnt even funny.

Whoever made it should be fired.

These lists and other lists like the '100 best XXXX' lists are only publicity gimmicks created to cause controversy. They're meant to bring attention to the people who made them, that's all.

Exactly.

And post like this one (about the subject matter) is exactly what they want.

While I don't agree on ALL the names (and would put Pujols around the 3-4 rank myself), this is a pretty good grab of the talent that SHOULD be leading the next decade.

dgrimes-- He made the just missed list.

Just for comparison, here is Rob Neyer's Top 20 player's of the past decade and if I think they would have made a top 20 list in 1999.

Pujols No
Arod For sure
Bonds For sure
Jeter For sure
Ichiro No
Beltran Possibly, ROY in 1999
Chipper Yes
Helton Yes
Halladay No
Santana No
Rolen For sure
Edmonds Probably not
Manny For sure
Vlad For sure
Posada Probably not
Abreu Probably not
Berkman No
Randy Johnson For sure
Giambi Probably
Andruw Jones For sure

Sure=8
No=5

Obviously predicting isn't an exact science, but at least 40% isn't too bad.
