The only problem I have with people's criticisms of A Rod is the money thing. 25 million a year. So what? You wouldnt take that kind of money? So every at bat, every ground ball, every fly ball is under the microscope because his agent was able to work out a contract that dwarfs anyone in the game.

Lets get a little grounded here. Hes having a terrible year in the field, a below average year at the plate, and he has failed to come up with the big hits Jeter has.

But is there any baseball player out there who justifiably would be worth 25 mill a year?

Scuds- It doesnt take a Yankee fan to be able to criticize A Rod. Not sure why you keep referring to Oracle, I watch most of their games too, and his every at bat and fielding highlights are on ESPN SPorts Center every morning at 7.

"As for errors, this is multiple gold glove winner. He is making mental errors right now yes but it is a short term phenomenon. Talk at the end of the season."


There is never going to be an excuse ,or reason for 20 errors or more/season.He is using Tiger as an example? When did Tiger do anything like make this many errors? Stupid to bring Tiger's name up.
