he already leads the majors with 12 homeruns and 31 RBIs in his first 15 games this season.

What if? You answer me, it is not really a question. Would your world change, the only changes would be to the baseball record books. I think that we are going to see him slow down much like everyone who has a hot streak, Kirby Puckett once went 10 for 11 in 2 games and it was a big deal but it was only 2 games out of 162. 15 games is just 10% of a season yes it is amazing but it does not forecast the future. And back to your original question What if? You tell me.

Hey folks folks, relax. Remember Albert Pujols at the start of last year? He had like 14 HR at this time and I think he had more RBIs, but I dont know for sure. A Rod could hit 70 HRs this year, but I think it will be in the mid to low 60s. As for 200 RBIs, thats going to be VERY tough. Im guessing more around 145-150.

I think that the 70 home runs could be possible, especially if he continues to play this well. I dont think he will be able to reach 200 rbi's, but it is possible, it would just be very unlikely. A-Rod is a phenominal player though, and there is a good chance of him getting the mvp award. I think he will go for just over 150 or 160, but i am not sure about 200, let's be honest here.

If A-rod stayed on this pace, he would hit 129 home runs in the season and have 334 R.B.I. at the end of an 162 game season. Has anyone ever started strong and stayed that way for a full season? No. He will cool down and get into a slump soon and he will be the most overpaid ball player who gets booed again at his home park. I could see him hitting 55 HR and 150 RBI this season. Nowhere near 70+ and 200+. If he did that consistently then he could possibly warrant getting 252 million for his 10 yr contract.

Well if he did then he'd be the player in 2007 that hit 70-home runs and 200 RBIs and still not have a World Series Ring.

He would have to stay of fire for basically the entire year to reach 200 rbi's.
As for the 70 home runs, he's well on pace to do so.

Nobody in baseball history has had 200 RBI in a season; nobody has had more than 165 since the 1930s. Be wary of extrapolating too much from a small sample size.

My guess is that A-Rod is going to have 64 HR's and 155 RBI's. No way is he ever going to reach 200 RBI's but 70 HR's is possible maybe.

Hes not going to reach 200 rbis but the 70 homers is possible. But my guess is that he gets injured.

i definitely dont see that happening. he might be off to a fast start,but at some point pitchers are gonna realize that he is amazing and start giving him the barry bonds treatment. as for just numbers,i would say give him 55-60 homers and 130-145 rbi,just going by his averages and what he could potentially do.
