Can you believe that Albert Pujols is already on this list? Holy mackerel. If he sticks with the Cardinals and hits just 30 HR a year for the next 4-5 years, he can crack the top 10. In this day and age of player movement, it's hard to believe. Of course, if 12 years from now, Pujols finishes up with another team, he drops right off this list.
