Fantasy Baseball Hot Stove Says:
Key Statistics: Alex Rodriguez is no longer a lock as a top 5 draft pick, but he still knows how to swing a bat. 2010 marked A-Rod's major league record 13th season in a row with 100 RBI and 30 home runs, one of which was the 600th of his career. His 125 RBI last season were good for second in the majors, and his 30 jacks were 8th best in the AL. Rodriguez posted these numbers in only 137 games, so there is potential for his counting stats to improve if he can stay on the field more in 2011. Rodriguez hit .270 last year, his lowest average in 15 years, but some of that could be attributed to his career low .274 BABIP, so his average may improve this season as well.
Skeptics Say: Rodriguez has consistently declined in each of the last several seasons. Age and injury are showing their effects. A-Rod played in 138, 124, and 137 games in each of the past 3 seasons. This has limited him to less than 600 plate appearances a year during the same time frame. Prior to 2008, A-Rod would regularly get 700 chances a year to accumulate stats. The affects of age and health have not just hampered A-Rod's ability to get in games and drive in runs -- he's not as effective as he used to be in multiple facets of the game. He can't run (4 SB last year) or defend (not that it matters in fantasy) well, and he's declined significantly in numerous rate stats, including isolated power (2010: .236, Career: .269), OBP (2010: .341, Career: .387), SLG (2010: .506, Career: .571), LD% (2010: 13.8%, Career: 17.8%), and HR/FB (2010: 17.1%, Career: 23.1%).
Projection: Rodriguez is getting older, and, even if fully recovered from his hip injury, he's more susceptible to aches and pains than when he was younger. Girardi won't hesitate to rest him to keep him fresh throughout the year.
A-Rod's not a safe bet for anything, which is why he's ranked below his peers. He could be really good or fall off a cliff. If you're willing to risk the latter, draft him over his peers. The most likely scenario is more above-average production:
89 R, 32 HR, 119 RBI, 6 SB, .291 AVG, .881 OPS
