JoA,

Isn't Boras pretty well known for convincing his clients to go for free agency even if it's not really in their best interest?

I really hope the Yankees stick to their guns and don't negotiate with ARod.

agree. bye bye A-Douche

Ya what a douche he just league MVP 2 times as a Yankee and they probably wouldn't have made the playoffs without him in a bunch of year. [censored] [censored] [censored]

[/ QUOTE ]

spend less on arod..spend more on pitching bullpen

he may have helped get us to playoffs but hasnt helped us much once we're there. And as i recall the Yanks managed to get to playoffs prior to A-Douche being on team

Other douches
Giambi--true, Jeter--false, Abreu--false, Damon--false, Matsui--false, Pavano--true, Farnsworth--true, Mussina--false, etc.

I thought Jeter was a "True" douche since he played his entire career in pinstripes. Isn't that what "True" means?

CDS,
Why isn't Jeter a douche he is getting paid similarly to A-Rod isn't as productive and wouldn't leave his position when it would benefit the team. He also GIDPed in tons of key spots during the playoffs this year.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ya but Jeter doesn't cause as many headaches as Arod. And he has come threw occasionally in big spots.

I honestly can't really recall any huge hit Arod ever came up with in the playoffs short of a homerun in the series vs the Twins.

Giambi has been more money than Arod in big spots.

I know I know...its sample size


but what if in two years into his new 8 year 35 million per deal he's still running bad? Do u think the Yankees want to go thru that ordeal?

Let some other team go thru the headache

You need to define "their best interest" on a player by player basis then examine.

Here is the kind of crap they are saying about him on a Cards message board:

[ QUOTE ]
The guy is a nice name to have on your team, but unless you want another McGwire era here there's no way he can come here, and any team who takes him is getting a guy who has never been at his best when the pressure is on.

With the demands he has and the yankees out of it who is going to sign him for what he demands? The dude is just 1 season from being dropped to 8th and then benched in the playoffs...

[/ QUOTE ]

For those of you that think the people here are stupid.

I would consider giving up my right testicle in exchange for ARod on the Cardinals, but this idiot is like "zOMFG he is so not teh CLUTCH!!!!!1112"
