Albert Pujols

Pujols has not played a game this year, and thus has all 670 PAs remaining for you to use. Filling these PAs with Pujols instead of replacement level guys could push you into the playoffs. Pujols hit .285 with 30 homers in 2012, the year the current sim season is based on.

Looking for young, potentional impact bats who are rated players. I'm at the prospect cap, so I can't take any more prospects. Guys who are just barely rated are good.

Here's a scenario where Pu (or another good bat) would help ... and one that a lot of you will come upon soon.

You have 4 good OFs. Each has 300 PAs remaining for the year. You have been starting 3 in the OF and one at DH. However, you need 400 more PAs at each position. That means you're going to end up 300 PAs short in the OF and 100 PAs short at DH.

If you trade for Pujols (or another good bat), you slide him into DH, and push your current DH to the outfield. You give each outfielder one day off every four games, and you play out the season with a quality player at each OF position in all your games, instead of having to plug in role players.
