[QUOTE="naughty240, post: 5245567, member: 603137"] I said he had one of the best seasons for a second basemen in recent history. First 2b since 1959 to win the AL MVP and first 2b to win MVP,SS and GG in same season since Ryne Sanberg. Id say that shows you how hard it is for a middle infeilder to do. Im not saying he is the best just [B]this season[/B] was something special. Dont forget this is the post steriod era. As far as Pujols goes He plays in the NL and Arod plays in the AL ,where lets be honest thats where all the better pitchers pitch. He has had to battle in the AL East for a while where it is fierce. Yankee stadium is not a right handed hitters ball park and I think he has the RH HR record. Corner outfeilders and 1st basemen are often are the power number guys and Arod put up those numbers at ss. He was a good ss moved over and played 3b fine (except that one year lol). Look at baseball history stats there wont be a lot of ss or 2b on the leaders But yes Arod sticks when it counts.
