I dropped him to AA where he just steadily declined the whole time until he retired

I play season mode, so players don't decline during the season itself. But should I expect, for example Roy Oswalt, to decline heavily during the first offseason, and then more heavy declines during the following offseasons?

Also do hitters in their mid 30's and older experience even decline in all categories (or is it more in the areas they excel in). For instance I have Podsednik on my team (who excels in contact and speed). Should I expect those areas to decline more than the areas he is average in?
