No chance in hell in 2004 and still iffy in 2007 because others who were allowed to grow and perform without the "me" first ahole factor....see Youk (himself a bit of more talent than he showed until 2007, Jason Pedroia who would have unlikely prospered in a tense clubhouse rather than the one he had...and I could go on on.....Boston is a weird place to play with a negative karma until the last few years where many a premadonna (sp?) ruined talented teams destined for greatness.

This particuar question your asking here has been debated by Boston journalism royalty eg Ryan Gammons etc to the same thing I am saying. To a man (sorry Jackie McM.) they all have cast votes for "If A-Rod were here the curse would now have 90+ years to it....." It does have to make sense to be the truth...sometimes you DO subtract from a team by adding talent to it if it comes with baggage like this!!
