1 HR by J:Rod and a high strikeout rate pretty much confirm that his major league career is on the verge of going nowhere

Yeah. I've pretty much given up on J-Rod. He didn't make the Puerto Rican WBC Team. Even though he was the league's MVP this year, he still did not make the team. He did go to Puerto Rico this year to work on his strikeout totals. I think his power numbers suffered because he worked on his contact game. Another reason the Guardians should have gotten a right hand hitting outfielder this off season. Too bad. I really liked J-Rod.
