Williams was 40 years old in 1959; he ended up hitting .254 with 10 HRs, the worst season he ever had.

Carl Furillo hit .247 that year, the worst season of his career; Aparicio ended the year hitting .232, the worst of his career.

The problem is as the Dave Cameron article shows is that this isn't just a 20 game slump. Over the last 365 days and 650 plate appearances he's been terrible. That's the most concerning thing. Anyone want to give $25 million to Jason kubel?

Hamilton has had 3 BAD months out of the past 5 going back to June 2012.

When is this no longer a slump, and the beginning of a permanent decline?

 

And of all the aforementioned OPS', Hamlton's .554 is by far the worst in the group.

24 games played Albert Pujols May 1st, 2009..............356 / 9hrs / 29rbi's / 1.192ops

 

27 games played Albert Pujols May 1st, 2013..............245 / 4hrs / 18rbi's /  .739ops

 

Lol that this is not considered a slump.

He was incredible in April and May last year, then sucked for two months, then had a great August and September. Lets not skew facts here.
