When it's all over, Pujols will have Ted Williams / Jimmy Foxx type numbers. He's going to be a .330 career hitter with 500 homers, and that's probably conservative.
If you just multiply his current career numbers by four, and assume only plays 14 seasons (he'd be 35), or more likely he plays a little later, but gets hurt and misses some production....
He'd have a little over 8,000 at bats. Which would put him barely in the top 100 in that category
He'd finish in the top 10 in homers, doubles, and total bases
Top 10 in runs, RBI, and average
Now, it's a little early to annoint him as one of the best ever, but I think only saying he plays to 35 is a bit conservative (that's assuming he's really 24 years old) and those numbers are pretty astounding.
