James, btw, doesn't say that.
29 is the point where a player HITS his peak, statistically speaking.
The vast majority stay on that plateau for a few to many years.
Teams have been signing 30 something free agents the entirety of the sabremetrucs era.
I believe you are grossly misinterpreting the data.
