You got a good point here. It is a good way to see it.
As I said, I don't have the answer, It's unlikely he repeats his 2011 numbers, but hell, still those 2011 numbers are very nice, those are elite numbers.
The thing is that we are talking about finish first, at least in this department. Can Pujols finish first? Of course he can but the call is not that easy or clear to me as I would call maybe 3-4 years ago.
When I see Cabrera's numbers (last 2 years) or A-God's 1st half season numbers (regardless the upside batting in Fenway), and then Pujols very slightly decline, makes me wonder a little bit about this call.
I'm just saying that I need to see him next year and make me sure that this is not the beginning of a little decline (If we want to call it that way), that's all.
