What do you guy's think? I have A-rod on my team but am thinking to trade him for Crawford and a decent pitcher. Do you think he can keep his stats from Japan on the Devil Rays?

For the sake of my team he'd better...All seriousness, I think he's adjusting to the culture shock this spring & will start a bit shaky but continue to dial it up...he'll be good after a couple weeks...in the meantime - enjoy what you get out of that A-Rod deal...

Well - he was a 40 home run hitter in Japan and I guarantee he doesn't do that here in the States.
I expect him to put up around 20 home runs though and he will be a bargain wherever you get him. He will be a solid option if you have an opening at 3B, just don't expect him to put up ARod-type numbers.

From what I have read those numbers probably won't translate as well to the major leagues. I don't remember off hand, but I believe what i've read is he has the gap power of Matsui, but he won't put up the same dominant numbers he did in Japan
