Forecasting Pujols’ AB

By Tangotiger, 06:41 AM

From 2001 to 2005, this was Albert Pujols AB: 590, 590, 591, 592, 591

Consistent! That’s the word, right? Wow, I will forecast Pujols for 591 AB in 2006, and I’m definitely going to be right! Yes, consistent, healthy. That’s Pujols. We all know what happened to Pujols this year. His final AB total was 535.

What did Marcel say before the season started?

531.
