It's INCREDIBLY difficult to predict if guys are going to be better or worse from year to year. It's something that I don't envy at ALL the guys at SCEA for having to try and predict/reproduce.

Exactly.

Rollins said today in the Philadelphia Daily News that the ankle injury bothered him all year and that he commented about it to Prince Fielder in the playoffs. Apparently it was all scar tissue tearing up.

I don't think its fair to drop a guy's ratings substantially if he was hurt for the majority of the season. His numbers are obviously going to be below his norm, and when and if he does play, the injury will still be lingering. Basically, you wouldn't be judging him based on his entire ability.

A-Roid. Now that everyone has their eyes on him, he might have to think twice before he injects himself. Expect his form to slide considerably.

I think all this attention will affect him but if he has been clean like he says he has with the Yankees then it shouldn't matter quite as much!
