Aging Gracefully: Jeter, Big Pappi, Chipper, Ibanez, and Lowe
Bloomberg Sports Anchors Julie Alexandria and Rob Shaw discuss five players who are still performing well in the twilight of their career. Among the players discussed is Yankees legend Derek Jeter who has a stellar batting average, though his recent power outage is cause for concern. Also, Red Sox slugger Big Pappi may not only be getting bitter with age, but better with age as well. Chipper Jones is enjoying his swan song with a high average mixed with fine power when he is healthy enough to take the field. Raul Ibanez has been a pleasant surprise for the Yankees as the New York native has offered plenty of power. Finally, Indians hurler Derek Lowe has somehow enjoyed success despite having more walks than strikeouts so far this season. For more fantasy baseball insight visit BloombergSports.com.
