He's a former MVP, 5 time All Star, led the AL in walks multiple times, OBP multiple times and has won the Silver Slugger Award twice. He didn't deserve the money he was paid? Yes, he's got the steroid scandal surrounding him, and he's had a couple serious injuries in his tenure with the Yankees, but all in all, I think he's performed quite well and earned his money, to boot. The only drawback that I see with him is that he can't hit the opposite way...
And what role did roids play in all of that? What can he say about his 2003 and 2004 seasons when he had health problems? He had amazing command of the strike zone I’ll grant you but roids made him into an elite player when without roids and PEDs he wasn’t.
