Uhhhhh... Doubtful.
Derek Jeter gets his ballswashed to the outer reaches of the galaxy. ARod is judged a little harsher than most players in NY, but at the same time it's somewhat warranted.
He's signed the biggest contract in baseball history, was able to get out of the sinking ship that was the Texas Rangers, move on to the Yankees. Basically having his cake and eating it too.
Let me know when he does anything meaningful in the playoffs.“Nobody in the history of the game tried what I just tried. We’re talking about on the biggest stage, in New York, playing out of position and asked to hit fourth for the New York Yankees. I mean, that’s never been done.” - Sheffield on SheffieldComment

That's true. I personally was never doing backflips over the deal (yeah I know, hindsight blah blah blah).
I just dislike him period. I'll give him credit for willing to defer money on his contract to play for a contender, not many guys would do that.
I think a reason a lot of Red Sox fans hate ARod is because he was basically the posterboy for what the Yankees had been doing to the Sox for quite a while. They swooped in and were able to net him when the Sox weren't. That's a big reason for my hatred for him, misguided or not.
He also seems like a pompous, self obsessed *** too.“Nobody in the history of the game tried what I just tried.

Career Playoffs:
.305/.927 BA/OPS
Papi:
.301/.935 BA/OPS
Pretty similar to what everyone considers the best postseason player.

And if your teams down 3 in the 7th inning and you strike out, then you get credit for striking out.

Re: Funny A-Rod Article
Originally posted by SPTOI think a better stat to look at would be average with RISP
With RISP: .311/.442/.607
With RISP and 2 outs: .321/.486/.643
Last year:
.290/.410/.484
.302/.429/.512
Last year his numbers dropped a little in those situations, but they were still pretty good.
This year his numbers with RISP are much better than his overall numbers.
These are regular season, I couldn't find the playoff stats.Originally posted by Jay BilasThe question isn't whether UConn belongs with the elites, but over the last 20 years, whether the rest of the college basketball elite belongs with UConnComment

There's no point in breaking down stats, if you actually watch baseball there is no doubt that Ortiz is a more clutch player than A-Rod."You make your name in the regular season, and your fame in the postseason." - Clyde Frazier
