2K15: Alex Rodriguez

[revo]

With A-Roid seemingly back from his season-long suspension, he's going to soak up a roster spot in da Bronx unless the Yanks buy out his contract. As of now, he's slated to be a DH/1B type, but much of his hitting skills have long since left him.

A season removed from an abortive 156 AB .244/.348/.423 line, ARod now enters his age 39-40 season a shell of his former self. What can we expect from him?

I think he breaks camp with the Yanks and gets:

325 ABs
45 Runs
15 HRs
55 RBIs
4 SB
.256 BA
.352 OBP

....which makes him rosterable in fantasy, and perhaps startable some weeks.

where is he predicted to bat in the order? i could imagine either more RBI or more R depending on that.

i think 4 SB is a stretch, given his hips.

Beats me. This even assumes the Yanks don't just buy him out. Maybe if they do, he'll end up as a DH somewhere out of the spotlight and do even better, who knows. Given that he'll be a mid-to-late round fantasy pick, I'd take a shot on him, I guess.
