He didn't "fall apart" he posted wRC+ of 96, 121,132 and 89 over his last 4 seasons. as 100 is avg, his last 4 seasons he was still 10% above avg hitter.
This is why using the traditional stats can be so misleading as they don't give a very deep portrait of production.
you want to talk garbage, look at Pete Rose's last 7 years, I think his total fWAR for those years is under 1
ETA: it was 1.2 total over last 7 years
