Look at the decline the last three years, has dropped considerably in every major hitting category and stolen bases. Say that continues the next two years. He'll be looking at returning in 2011 as a 37 year old .285 hitting 1st baseman. He'll have earned over $200 million in salary and who knows how much in endorsements. You don't think he'd give retirement strong consideration at that point?
