Re: ***yankees official offseason thread*****
Triumph,
I said it wasn't fair to categorize him as a below average hitter "IF healthy".
40 games and 140 plate appearances is not healthy.
Also, for you to ascertain that he is finished is wrong.
His 2004 season almost mirrors his 2007 season (OPS was worse in basically the same number of at bats), yet at the age of 34 (HE'S IN HIS 30's OMGGG HE'S DONE!) he still rebounded to finish 5th in OPS in 2005 and 6th in OPS in 2006.
Is it likely he comes back again and provides numbers close to those? No.
Is it correct to proclaim he's as good as done? No.
