I don't have anything against him. Infact I think he might be the greatest april and may baseball player ever. Alex is Mr. May. Does anyone auctually want there favorite team to sign him? When it counts in the postseason he dosn't get it done. If he were to play in the regular season as he does the post season he would be considered a subpar, mediocre average at best baseball player. I can't believe his agent is actually going to ask for an even bigger contract. I'm thinking a team can either sigh a pitching staff, or A-rod. 9 other hitters or A-rod. To me he is not worth the money, because he can't win when it counts. People say it's a team game, but when it counts in the postseason he doesn't even pull his own weight. If he can't win with the yankees who can afford not only him, but other great players, how is he going to win with another organization who will have to decide his salory, or an actual team? To me A-Rod is subtraction by addition. What does everyone else think.

If I were an owner I would say at most I would pay him a million a year. What would everyone else say he is worth in baseball terms of the salory that they make in relation to other players?

Frizzer it is you who is missing the point completely. I don't blame A-rod for taking the most money he can get and I'm not having a difficult time with it. Your answer is completely out of bounds. You never mention why he should have high market value and instead attack me for no reason. I love my job by the way. Your answer is the dumbest, most idiotic answer in the history of yahoo answers.

ARod CRUMBLES under pressure (and i'm a yankee, yes), when he's gassed he'll go crazy with great hits, but when it comes to pulling through, he crumbles (hense postseason). I wouldn't want him signed to my team if I were anyone else because he's like venom to any team, because he's a SUPERSTAR he's never really part of a TEAM, he's AROD, and that hurts the other players

You are completely missing the point with respect to A-Rod and market value. The highest offer extended to him becomes his market value. You are not the determining factor as to how much A-Rod is worth, his employer will have that distinction. I don't know what you do in life but your value is also worth what you are being paid. If you believe you are under paid you have every right to go find another job where you can be compensated at a level you believe is fitting based on your abilities. Why are you having such a difficult time of it when A-Rod is doing the same thing you would do?

Arod will be a great addition to teams like the Cubs, Dodgers, Mets, and all average teams that aren't used to making the playoffs. The reason is these teams they aren't in the playoffs every year unlike the Yankees he will be a great player!! Like you said he is a regular season player. But, I do disagree that he is only worth 1 mill a year. I still believe when all is said and done he will be the best player of our time!

A-Rod is probably the greatest baseball player in this generation....He is a one dimensional player and he is only out for what is best for him....He is not a clutch hitter and he tries to hard....He can not get it done in the post season....I think A-Rod is going to hold alot of records at the end of his career but he will not have the one thing he wants the most and that is a world series ring.....He will end up on the west cost maybe angels or dodgers....

Alex had better playoff numbers this season than any of these guys:
Derek Jeter
Jorge Posada
Hideki Matsui
Melky Cabrera
So why does Alex still take all the heat? In Game 4, the Yankees had a rally going in the sixth inning until Jeter grounded into a weak double play. So why isn't everyone on Jeter for flunking when it counts?
As for the "Mr. May" comments, I hope that everyone using that term realizes that the Yankees wouldn't have even been playing in October if not for Rodriguez. If you think the Yanks are going to be better offensively without him, I think you're wrong.

Craig S said it best. The Yankees lost this post season as a team....Jeter .174 and 3 crucial DPs, Posada .133, plus the anemic pitching,facts that most of you keep conveniently ignoring. So stop sounding so foolish by blaming A-Rod, who did better than most Yankees, and whose regular season production was the main reason they got there. Hate all you want, but the fact remains that he is the best player...PERIOD!

A-Rod is a regular season player. Not good for playoffs.

I would not want my home team (The Jays) to take him unless the offer was small enough that the costs are not going to show and that's not the Arod we know.
