And you wonder why his average is below .300 and he only hits ground balls to the right side.
At least guys like Joe DiMaggio and Sandy Koufax knew when to quit while on top. We are seeing the problem with paying long-term, multi-year multi-million contracts to these guys.

Koufax had no choice but to leave the game. He had a painful arthritic elbow.

You apparently missed his .327/.383/.428/.811 performance in the 2nd half last year. A little swing tweaking straightened him out. By comparison the superstar Jose Reyes hit .305/.356/.428/.784 over the same period.
