New York Yankees 3B Alex Rodriguez has only 15 hr’s on the season and is in jeopardy of missing 30 hr’s in a season for the 1st time in 13 years and the 2nd time in his career.
Our Instinct: Is this the beginning of the end for the soon to be 35 year old Rodriguez? Hardly. While he is only hitting .274 with 15 hr’s, 48 runs, and 2 sb’s, he does have 78 rbi. He’s on a pace for .274-27-132-87-4. Except for rbi, those are career lows. We expect A-rod to pick it up a bit here in the 2nd half. A line of .285-35-135-90-6 is more of what we would expect.
