Pujols ends up with, I'll guess, 675 HR, surpassing Mays, falling short of Aaron, Ruth, Bonds, and likely Rodriguez. It seems strange, but this is probably a conservative estimate for Phat Albert.

And since first place is such an obvious choice, I'll take Cabrera for second place in this group. Dunn seems like he's going to have a hard time finding a job in a few years, unless some AL team finally convinces him to exclusively hit for a living. But the DH seems to be fading out as a place to stick hitters who can't field, possibly because teams find themselves needing roster flexibility carrying 12 pitchers?

I've been examining this very question in the course of updating the HR section of Chasing the Big Numbers, and I agree with AWeb. Pujols is the obvious number one and Cabrera for now is a pretty easy number two. And I agree that Dunn will have a very, very hard time getting a job in five years.
