Depends on the setup of the league - what stats are they counting, what is the draft like?\nBoth players put up similar numbers, with Pujols on one hand consistently having more doubles and fewer strikeouts, and on the other, consistently getting a few less RBI's, HR, and SB than Rodriguez.\nThere will probably be fewer RBI chances on the Cardinals than the Yankees, but Pujols is younger and is just entering his prime rather than perching on the tail end of it.\nAnother factor: there are fewer impact 3B than there are impact 1B.  In a six-team league, take Pujols. In a 12+ team, you might want to grab the best player at a somewhat difficult position to fill in ARod.
