I'm going to go on record and say he's going to have a monster year, much closer to 2007 than 2008 in terms of production. Reason?
That's it.There's nothing left.
He's lost his wife due to a divorce. His contract situation is squared away. He really can't be booed anymoe than he has. His stats have lost credibility with a lot of people due to his involvement with PEDs. The only thing left for him to do is to win. To take his team to the Wold Series and win it. I believe that he sees that now, and that's it for him.
You know, this guy hasn't had much luck under the gun. Bad playoff performance and being dropped to 8th, a failed marriage in a scandalous turn of events involving a stipper and then Madonna, his obsession with Jeter...it's one thing after another.
At this point, I believe he'll see October as just another baseball game. He's been through worse.
