Alex Rodriguez didn’t have a bad year but it wasn’t one of his better years. It seems like Alex Rodriguez sometimes has “down seasons”, but comes back the next year and looks like an MVP. Now, ARod’s year wasn’t really bad, but it wasn’t what we usually see out of him. For most players those numbers would be more than enough, but when you are said to be the best player in the game you expect more. If next year goes like the rest of his career has gone, than you can expect monstrous numbers out of him. Here are his bounce back years:
