I say no shot. I think he will limp to 720-730.

Yes, he will break the record easily. He may end up at 800.Comment -
Ha I dont knowComment -
Looks like age and the lack of juice is getting to him this year; I say no.Comment -
WHO GIVES A F-CK HE CHEATED THE HOMERUNS MEANING NOTHING.HE HAS HIT 17 HOMERUNS THIS YEAR
BOYS I GUESS THE STEROIDS REALLY DO HELP
THE STEROID ERA IS OVER AND HOMERUNS ARE WAY DOWN HOW IRONIC HUH BOYS
Comment -
Of course he cheated. But its just a question? Do you think he will get there. It's worthless cause of the juice but just wondering everyone's opinion.Comment -
No he is breaking down already
No steroids anymore so he has no powerComment -
Before today there were questions if he would get to 600Comment -
no chance unless he wants to play for the AstrosComment -
Comment -
No chance.
Comment -
I say no, you say yes, we agree, he will not.Comment -
i'd say there next to no way he DOESN'T get there...guy has like 9 years left in himComment -
Yes...An A-bomb for A-rodComment -
no way, not even closeComment -
I think he will be lucky to get to 700 let alone breaking the recordComment -
No i dont think so....took him 3 years to get 100, another lets say 4 years due to aging fr the next 100, that brings him to age 39 with another 63 to get...will be tight but i dont think soComment -
he will reach it only if he keeps using!!!!!Comment -
Seriously guys, how can he NOT break the record, barring injury? I can't imagine him not averaging 30 homers for the next 6 years, which is all it would take.Comment -
Why not? People are talking like he is finished and yet he'll still probably reach 30 this year.Comment -
There is no way he will do it. With the injuries and no juice. He has a chance at 700, but that will even be tough. Think about this. Where would Griffey have been had he not been injured late in his career? A-rod is already on the way down.Comment -
if bonds can doit so can A-fraudComment -
Bonds did it with the juice now there is no more juice as far as we know. I dont see Arod getting 30 homers every year, thats a tough task. Yankees made the milestone bonus to help their brand before all the rods stuff came outComment -
I'm beginning to think that he may not make it to 700. He's suddenly looking every bit of his 35 years old.Comment -
I say he won't, prob 700-701Comment -
ya i think he will. he will play till he breaks the record just like bonds did.Comment -
I laugh at people who say no chance. He still has many years left and his power stroke is to right and right center and look at the park he plays in. I say he ends up with 780.Comment -
He will have to play a long time w/o injury to get there. No more 40 HR seasons left in his bat. 30 HR would be great, 20-25 is more realistic.
he needs six solid seasons of 25 HR to get in contention....pushing him to over 40 (?). He's no lock for the record.
If this was some kind of even money , long term credit bet....I'd take the NO side of it at +100 for huge money.....With any luck I'd be dead by the time the bet loses anyway !Comment -
he did not use steroids ever as a Yankee how many did he hit last year?Comment -
Good point !
A-Rod would probably DH for a minimal salary ( 1-2 M) in 2018 for whatever AL team sucks 7-8 years from now.
It becomes a game of longevity for him....even at 20 HR a year he gets there if he can play at 44 or so.
He can get there....and I think he wants it badly !
I retract my future on it !Comment -
No I think he wont play that longComment -
I believe he got #30 right near the end of the season.
25 is looking more like it these days, but he is up there in RBI"S.
He's still a great player, but those next 150+ homeruns won't come as quickly as #'s 450-600 came.
I guess you'd have to make him a favorite to get to 763.Comment -
exactly..just because he hti 30 last year doesnt mean hes gonna continue at that pace..how about the year before he hit 35...fact of the matter he is on the declining trend now...from 54 to 35 to 30 to 16 at the first week of august.Comment
