If he stays healthy, he'll have a combined 250 runs/RBIs.

How many of those RBIs will really matter. There is one stat that counts in baseball, and that is how do you do when you have the opportunity to bring runners in from scoring position. That determines whether or not you win games or not. The great players consistently come through, A-Fraud has proven throughout his career, that he is not very good when it really matters. Not saying he isn't a good, or even great player. He's just not worth nearly the amount of money he's paid, considering the impact he has on the rest of team. Good players make the guys around them better, A-Fraud makes them worse.

Not according to "Moneyball" . . . i.e., there's no such thing as "clutch" hitting.

YEAH, RIGHT!

What's better, one 25 million a year player or three 8 million a year players? I would think three is better than one.

A-Rod is the result of a feeding frenzy that went on at the time.
