In my opinion, A-rod has already peaked and is in a slight decline. His performance has dwindled but will remain a very steady and reliable ballplayer over the nest few years. So yes his skill is declining but I would expect him to have many great years to come.

Have a better year? Since when did he have a bad one? I don't see how hitting 35+ Homeruns a season is considered bad.
Sure he may have had problems on the big D, but hey, that was only for one or two months.
A-Rod will kick azz like he always does. And this is coming from a Twins fan too!

Even if he hit 60 homeruns and drove in 180 runs he still needs to get is ws ring.
btw I think he will have a better year although hitting 35 hr's with 121 rbi's and a .290 batting avg doesn't give that much room for improvements.

What a loaded question. Obviously most Yankee fans will say "yes" and most Red Sox fans will say "no".
Being a Sox fan, I'll stick with the stereotype and say no, he won't. He'll have a typical A-Fraud season, appear to put up big numbers, but diehards will know the truth about his aweful clutch hitting.
At least he'll be wearing pinstripes next year...playing for the Mets.

I dont think he will. If you look at his stats as a yankee there below his career avg in every category and that fielding too. I think he puts to much pressure on hisself and he will not put up numbers like he did till he goes to a smaller market team with less pressure. Not to mention he is use to being the big bat in the lineup and the yankees have a whole line up of big names and bats.
My pick for some one on the yankees to have a huge year is Robinson Cano.

No. A-rod is overrated. He made way to many errors. He wakes up every morning and says "I'm a million dollars richer!" Yankees don't need him.

Yes. I think he'll have a .310, 45 hr, 135 rbi, .420 OB, .610 SLG, .980 fielding season. He will definitively have a better season than last year and possibly win MVP!

YES he will , not bad last year 35 hrs / 121 rbis , but he needs to come thru in the clutch situations to be successful in ny. look for a big improvement this year

Of course he will. He is still the best third baseman in the game and a top 5 in fantasy rankings.
