lord knows he's been declining, but he started so high that he's still viable in the right role
He still makes heaps of contact, but his BB/K has fallen from a crazy 1.15 to 0.66 to 0.34. Scary Also, first time since 1997 that his ISO was under .200.

Im sure he will get a start here and there in OF as he feels okay and someone else needs the DH but how likely does everyone think 5/10/20 games is (for those with varying eligibility requirements?)
I think 5 is a good bet, 10 is iffy and 20 a longshot but others opinion?
