Alex Rodriguez is god awful

for a 20 Million dollars?

You're joking right.

I'm not saying that his numbers this year are worth 20 million dollars. But, I'm saying that in his worst year, he's still better than the vast majority of MLB shortstops. Plus, his consistency is something very few can claim

Really AROD isn't as consistent? And I didn't even include the year that he got robbed by Juan Gonzalez for the MVP.

Look at the fluctuation there. His average goes from the .280's to the .310's. His power numbers are consistent, but as said multiple times, NOT WHEN THEY ARE NEEDED.

got to love the solo HR late in the game

[GiantsFanatic]

Yeah well, if you were using your brain, you would know the only reason he hit a solo homerun is because Jeter hit a meaningless 3 run HR in front of him.

But then again I wouldn't expect anyone who support Chris Benoit in there sig, would use their brain.
