    Re: Alex Rodriguez is not playing up to expectations.

    I am upset because his contract, along with others, hurts the team and will hurt them until he gives back some of the money and Palmeiro and Park are gone.

        Re: Alex Rodriguez is not playing up to expectations.

        your upset about it? are you paying his salary or something? if not, let it go. how is his contract hurting the team? there's no cap in baseball. and if they're giving A-Rod that much money, i'm sure they could do some other things as well. not his fault they're losing.

                    I want you to know that I'm not tryin to be rude, but you need to realize some things about economics, lying, owners, players union, and self interest.

                    Those 5 factors should help you better understand why ARod is making the money he is making and why you'll realize that you've been duped into thinkin it's his fault he makes that money.

                                                            what do you think Alex was getting paid back in 1996 when he should have won the MVP? This is baseball, once Pujols gets through his first few years, bringing in a huge contract just like Alex will be. Unfair comparison.

                                                            Exactly what I was saying...you can't compare the two contracts because A-Rod has 5 more years under his belt and has gone through Free Agency...Pujols is still playing under the contract he signed as a rookie.
