Strangely enough, I would probably like him a lot more if he did this, and would become a quasi-Rockies fan.

The Rockies don't need A-Rod to win the World Series -- they can hit .220 as a team as well without him as with him. They could have used Johan Santana, perhaps...
A-Rod is a self-centered toxic presence on a team that drains resources better spent elsewhere. He is a fantastic talent, and may go down as the greatest hitter in history, but it speaks volumes that no matter where he plays, on teams that actually have a lot of talent besides himself, that team does not win a World Series.
It's a good thing there are only a small number of teams that can afford A-Rod, because that narrows down the list of clubs subject to the dysfuncionality of his presence.

It does not speak volumes at all. Unless you think Ernie Banks was a cancer too. Jesus people do you guys even THINK about all the great players who have never won or played in a World Series before you say stupid things?
