Yawn. Money to blow on a game. I will spend what I want. Fortunately I don't get worked up about something that isn't real like some here do. It's not like I spent $ 8 mil. on a real life player!
And BTW, Rodriguez' composite OPS over the last three years would have placed him at or slightly above middle of the pack numbers when it comes to NL 2B this past (real) MLB season. The same goes for LaRoche. And if you think last year's numbers might have been an "off year", it would seem plausible considering his other years were much better. In the five prior years, LaRoche's composite OPS was .892, which would place him in the upper tier of 1B.
