Pujols could be better, but more statistics are needed. What the graph does show, is that he is the most consistent hitter in the group, year after year.

Much as I love to hate A-Rod, it's real close between him and Manny for second. The amazing thing about Manny, as reflected in the SoSH posting, is his consistency. He has the reputation of being an unreliable flake, but somehow he puts up the same numbers year in and year out. That's a sign of a hard-working dedicated ballplayer, not an idiot savant. Extreme consistency was also a hallmark of Lou Whitaker, a great and generally underrated player who had his own flaky tendencies (and aversion to the media). The most memorable Lou moment: showing up for an All-Star Game without his gear. He wore a fake Tiger uni from a ballpark gift shop, his number hastily drawn on with a Sharpie. Those incidents tend to overshadow his place as the second-best second baseman (behind Joe Morgan) of his era. I’d have to say Pujols has surpassed Manny as the best righthanded hitter.
