Players in Early Stages of Decline

[d18Mike]

Thinking about this last night after reading a threads about how Aburey Huff's numbers have gone south two consecutive years and have the same trajectory this season, albiet still early.

Who else seems to be "showing their age" prematurely or before well before 35 when the numbers really start to tumble (typically). Not just off to a slow start this year, but really show signs of eroding skills.

I give you the poster child for this discussion . . .

Randy Johnson

[AtlDynasty25]

Chipper Jones

Randy Johnson

He's 42, but yeah, well in decline.

Does Chipper Jones count? I know he's still a darn good hitter, but all that power he used to have has vanished like money when the wifes around.

Will Larry Jones hit more dingers or father more illegimate children this season?

Jeff Kent

[Omaha Red Sox]

Possibilities
Sheffield
Kent
Griffey Jr.
Edmonds
Hunter
Renteria
Posada

These are just possibilities. Off the top of my head, I don't know all of their ages, but I believe they are possibly in decline.

I think Larry's lack of pop this year has more to do with his injured knee. He has altered his swing because of it. I think the power will be there once he's fixed his swing.

Sheffield
Kent
Griffey Jr.
Edmonds
Hunter
Renteria
Posada

Renteria? Smells like sour grapes to me......

[great gretzky]

kent is in decline, but it seems gradual. looks pretty good lately. as does renteria. Griffey I guess, but his decline is more to do with being brittle than aging it seems.
