Will A Rod get 763?

KC · 08-04-10, 11:55 PM

I think he plays just long enough to get it

DH

I think he will hang around until he gets the record. I think that matters to him. He needs a team though.

Yanks should be looking to replace Jeter....very tough to do with such a popular player, but he is in decline.

Posada and Rivera are also aging.

yep, even if he plays for the major league minimum, in whatever city is the worst 8 years from now. Even if he is just a PH type.

teecee · 08-05-10, 12:12 AM

a-rod will hit 737 hr's. which is still a shitload, btw.

bostonbruins · 08-05-10, 12:14 AM

Probably have a career ending injury before he gets there

beach nut · 08-05-10, 12:14 AM

If he remains healthy for the rest of his career he will get there.

ojs69 · 08-05-10, 02:36 AM

absolutely

VTranX · 08-05-10, 02:41 AM

time is on his side.

TGHMak · 08-05-10, 03:43 AM

I don't think his hip will hold up, but playing DH should give him a few more good years.

soli · 08-05-10, 03:49 AM

I don't see him breaking the record if he continues to have minor injuries that keeps him from playing full seasons

BEANTOWNJIM · 08-05-10, 04:09 AM

YOU GUYS ARE MISSING THE POINT INSTEAD OF GUESSING HOW MANY HOMERUNS A-ROD WILL HIT LETS GUESS HOW MANY A-ROD WOULD HAVE HIT WITHOUT STEROIDS

THESE ARE STEROID HOMERUNS AND DONT COUNT SO LETS NOT GIVE A-ROD OR ANY OTHER STEROID FREAK THE RECOGNITION THEY DONT DESERVE.

WITHOUT STEROIDS A-ROD WOULD HAVE BEEN LUCKY TO HIT 375 HOMERUNS IT WAS ALL ROIDS BOYS LOOK AT THE NUMBERS SINCE HE IS OFF STEROIDS THATS THE TELLING TRUTH.REMEMBER THE RUMORS THAT A-ROD MIGHT HAVE BEEN TAKING ROIDS ALL THE WAY BACK TO HIGHSCHOOL THIS GUY IS A FRAUD AND DOESNT HAVE HOMERUN POWER WITHOUT STEROIDS.

I HIT A HOMERUN/DOUBLE OFF HALL OF FAMER (JIM CORSI) IN HIGHSCHOOL AND I WASNT ON STEROIDS

BEANTOWNJIM PLAYED THE GAME CLEAN

Jimmy great post

It does not matter anyway because he is not getting in hall

Voters already said they would never vote for him

LuckyBeans · 08-05-10, 07:51 AM

I'm pulling for big #5 of the St. Louis Cardinals, Albert Pujols, to take out both Bonds and A-roid in the career home runs chase.

MJFtheGenius · 08-05-10, 08:07 AM

AROD seems to always have minor injuries now a days

Cmon Pujols did it too

all the great hitters who hit homeruns on a enourmous clip obviously took steroids or HGH

Just because albert did not get caught does not mean he did it the right way

unusialsusp5 · 08-05-10, 08:11 AM

he will turn into ken caminiti first. and that should prevent him from hitting that many.

Josu · 08-05-10, 09:34 AM

Yes, of course, 763, oh please, he'll get 800.

Anyone that thinks pujols didnt or doesnt still juice i have a bridge i want to sell you. There are plenty of things these guys can take that dont come up in the test. The olympics are the only ones that do the test that shows all PED's.

Doug · 08-05-10, 03:52 PM

Way too long-term to bet this on post -up. It would have to be a credit wager.

I think he gets the 163 more in time, and he has 7+ years left, a nice 20+ a year pace gets him there.

Doug · 08-08-10, 11:48 AM

His HR's are in decline, quite a few Yankees have more. He's doing fine in RBI's though....I think second in MLB.

He probably is a bigger threat to get the RBI actually !

no chance no matter how long he plays, may not even catch Willie Mays he has talked about retiring young before

Doug · 08-08-10, 03:30 PM

He gets over 100 RBI every year, needs 504 more. That is easier than the HR title.

If he plays until 2017 he should get those RBI's easily !

yisman · 08-08-10, 03:38 PM

I say no. He's declining and without steroids, he's simply not a 40 homer guy anymore.

yisman · 08-08-10, 03:40 PM

i'd say there next to no way he DOESN'T get there...guy has like 9 years left in him

He's 35 and he's batting .263.

He won't even reach 30 homers this season.

9 years? Hell no.

Originally posted by LT Profits

Why not? People are talking like he is finished and yet he'll still probably reach 30 this year.

I'm willing to bet any amount of points he doesn't finish with 30 this year (postseason not included).

3PtShooter · 08-08-10, 03:43 PM

he needs a couplw outstanding years and more hot streaks hitting tatters

lakerboy · 08-08-10, 03:44 PM

he wont even get 700.

SouthBayGame · 08-08-10, 03:45 PM

Who's dome is bigger on roids? Pujools or Bonds?

Glada Tartan · 08-08-10, 04:03 PM

Whatever.. he makes 33 million $ a year

Bleh, not interested.

bacon22 · 08-08-10, 05:11 PM

I really hope not. I hate the Yankess. I think he will break down before long.

richyrich8478 · 08-08-10, 05:12 PM

i agree.. i say 730 at most better chance at bout 715

hey, you made the original comment.

Offer is open to any A-Rod backers.

I'm willing to bet he doesn't get to 30 this year.

gryfyn1 · 08-08-10, 08:44 PM

Im not so sure anymore - that Hip injury is extremely troublesome and has sapped his slugging that last coupe of years and they still talk about it bother him at time --

And as he gets older he wont have the advantage of popping amphetamines like Hank Aaron did --

I think from now till about age 38, 25 HRs a year is reasonable and that will put him at around 700, how well he can hold up from 39-42 will tell the tale

Doug · 08-08-10, 09:31 PM

I see him at about 2200 RBI in 4 years after the 2014 season, agree with 700 HR then as those stats are very correlated. At that point the RBI total gets broken first.

Rank Player (age) Runs Batted In Bats
1. Hank Aaron+ 2297 R
2. Babe Ruth+ 2213 L
3. Cap Anson+ 2075 R

He'd have a Hell of a lot of hits too ! Eventually he should DH or retire but his glove is still very good. Jeter loses his defensive position first, IMO. I'd be looking a new SS as early as next year if I were Steinbrenner.
