Albert Pujols & The Home Run Drought Question

One of the more intriguing remarks I hear sometimes during a televised game, or read in various news outlets, is that Player X has not hit a home run in some historically large amount of at-bats.

Or maybe they are really worried about the player's production, and whether or not it signifies an underlying health or mechanical issue.
