Don't get me wrong. The guy has had a great career. My point is proven in the stats you posted. Lowest HR and RBI totals in 7 years. Lowest hits total in 5 years and the most strike outs of any year in his career. This all with an all-star line-up to protect him. I think the pressure of New York got to him last year and he is feeling a lot more comfortable this year. That said, I think he returns back to the numbers of his best years.
