Who is comparing them from the time they played together? That is comparing a guy in his prime to an old guy.
Now for a whole career Mike isn't even in the same area code. Anyone think he will hit a single counting stat milestone like 3000 hits, 500 HRs, or 1500 RBIs? Pujols hit and passed all 3. 3384 Hits, 703, HRs, and 2218 RBIs.
I rarely watch baseball anymore so can't comment on Mr. Betts.
They have stats for everything. They have a stat called "CLUTCH" Alberts lifetime score is .5 and according to Sabermetrics that is above average. Now according to Sabermetrics -2 is AWFUL. Mike scored a -7.7 in that metric. Looks like Mike can't perform when it counts.
EDIT To add I have always hated ARod because he couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat when it counted. I found his Clutch stat and it is -10.9
