Don't know why you consider A-Rod overrated. His stats are mind-boggling, but he unfortunately chose to be the Ernie Banks of his generation. At least Ernie didn't really have a choice in the old days.

With his salary he needs more than just stats, he needs to lead the team to sniffing distance of the promised land and be a strong performer in the clutch. At half his salary he'd be a great player, with that salary he is grossly overrated. Compare him to Pudge's 500 batting average with runners in scoring position, that's clutch, A-Rod's not clutch, and as Juhn Buchegraz says: clutch is everything in life.
