Alex Rodriguez's "Fountain of Youth"
A lot has been said about Alex Rodriguez's age and decline skills. Yahoo's Rob Iracrane wrote an article today about A-Rod finding the "fountain of youth." I don't believe he's going to revert back to four years ago when he hit 54 home runs and 156 RBIs which both lead the league, I do believe he is being heavily underrated. He is almost fully recovered from his hip injury which should help him turn on the inside pitches. His average dropped to .270 but I don't see it being that low this season. Even if it does and at 35, his swing has slowed, he still managed 125 RBIs in 2010. Don't expect him to go back to stealing a ton of bases, but double-digit steals isn't out of the realm of possibility. A-Rod is still one of the best third baseman in the league, let everyone else think he's declining and take the 125 RBIs to the bank.
