A-Rod opts out of contract

Name a player you'd pay more money for right now.

You can't.

Of course not.

But name a player you would willing sign today if that player would take up 1/3 (or more) of your entire team's payroll right now. Right now, A-Rod's salary is around 40% (or over) of what the Rockies' payroll was. There was enough complaint about Helton's being over 1/4 (and justifiably so).

I don't think there's anyone I'd sign for that much of my total payroll, but others can certainly feel differently.
