Since 2000, A-Rod has never posted an On-base Average below .375 or a Slugging Percentage below .512. And, since 2000, his overall OPS is .992 (in 6,233 PA). Expect another season from Rodriguez with an OPS somewhere in the 900’s. There may be debate over the game conditions under which they are derived, but, the numbers are always there for Alex.

The only thing that can stop him this season would be injury and/or a mental breakdown…or a positive PED test.
