Damn! Chipper is 37, I remember watching him as a rookie. Where does the time go....

Anyone ever heard of Michael Young....I'm sorry but over the past 3 years, Rolen is nothing close to Young

I'm going to miss seing him at the hot corner this year!

Although I don't think it's important his avg also went down.So his contact numbers appear too high to me. Fielding wise he has been a negative defender the past 2 years. He is still a great hitter but his injuries have slowed him down considerably and I don't think he is the clear cut best 3B in baseball. But I won't argue that.

His power is fine. He was coming off major hip surgery and missed more than a month because of it. The hips are a very important part of your body when hitting. His average against righties and lefties being 90+ is kind of weird.

He is still a .300 hitter. However he has been known to struggle against lefties, and they put it at 94? I would have expected r cont to be like 90 and left to be like 78

I don't say he turned into Juan Pierre powerwise. But he has the ratings of 2007 Arod. And I don't expect him to repeat that year anytime again. He is still a HR-threat but no way his power ratings should be higher than Pujols'.
