Still not understanding why it's a lock that he'll be 'physically unable to perform' after a year and a half off.

Sure, but were we expecting a lot out his return this year, anyway? Normal aging curve and some rust goes without saying, but these proclamations I keep seeing of the effective end of ARod's career seem to be expecting something more than that.
