Lol the A-Rod contract. They really got the wood put to 'em on that one.

 

A-Rod's fWAR was 3.8 last season, yikes.

[ORS]

Please, you know better than this. The Royals started out a season 16-2 back in 2003 I believe. The Guardians were playing not only above themselves, but miles above themselves. They would have to be extremely lucky all season long to continue having the best record.

 

IMO, they will crash and burn, if they're not already doing so.

I think they already are. They were 30-15 the last time the Sox came to town, since then, they've gone 4-13, even losing a series to Minnesota.

Really? He's projected to make the Yankees 1.3 billion, thats a little over one billion dollars profit... name me another player who can ay claim to that. As soon as we landed A-Rod in 2004 we started getting record revenue which allowed us to keep raising our payroll.

@Edit, I must have missed the part where this was the "Neil Cavuto's Official Yankees Business Thread" Thread.

Keep raising?

 

2004 - $184M

2005 - $208M

2006 - $194M

2007 - $189M

2008 - $209M

2009 - $201M

2010 - $213M

2011 - $207M

Yeah, nice try. Looks pretty static to me. And, file that $1B profit in the same folder as the Sox Japanese Matsuzaka revenues, ie a nice story with little reality behind it.

[Palodios]

1.3 billion? I don't see A-rod selling 30+ million jerseys

at best, we've broken even with his contract, but he's been on the team now for 7 yrs now, he's no longer a novelty.

This ... unfortunately. At least there was 2009.

[Emmz]

This ... unfortunately. At least there was 2009.

 

Imagine the difference of his WAR converted into dollars and his salary. It's going to be enormous.

Haha yes ... your favorite stat.

Only when it's fitting.

I meant operating cost my bad. That was the figure by forbes when they resigned him in 2007.

[jacksonianmarch]

Regardless, ARod will end up with another 30HR 100+RBI season barring major injury. You cannot argue with that production. The contract is obscene and will always be, even if he hit .350 with 50 bombs every yr. There is no way to justify it

[Emmz]

If he hits three .350 with 50 homers every year and 1.000 OPS, with gold glove defense, that's how he's worth his contract. Unfortunately, he's no longer valuable on defense, he'll be a DH pretty soon, his production is going down every year, etc.

 

When he's done, I'm just curious to see how that situation is handled.

[jacksonianmarch]

the writers will do what they do with Bonds. Bonds will be the precedent. Both of these guys didnt need roids to be HOFers.

[Emmz]

Except none of you know when A-Rod started. We can be pretty accurate about when Bonds probably started, which is most likely immediately following his arrival in SF, when he started hitting 40+ homers annually, and slugging over .600 annually.

 

I'm sick of hearing how Bonds was a 600 homer guy before the juice, he was hitting 25-30 homers per year in Pittsburgh. He may have been washed up after ten good years for all we know.

 

Finally, if they allow Bonds or A-Rod into the Hall, that means Manny probably gets in too, but I think it's after they allow Pete Rose and Joe Jackson in.

A-Rod had his best season in 2007, when he was clearly off steroids. He certainly didn't need them to be great.

Clearly? How do you know?

Can you back this up? Why would you ever even use them if you were good enough to hit 50+ home runs without them?

 

People say that using 'roids isn't magic, but I've seen some pretty s***** players look awesome with steroids, and talentless without.

for 30 MIL a year - YES

 

for the money he's getting paid he should be at an OPS over 1000 every year

[Divinity]

I have no idea why he used them, but he certainly didn't become a s***** player after MLB drug testing began.

 

This was his reason for using them

 

"Back then, [baseball] was a different culture," Rodriguez said. "It was very loose. I was young. I was stupid. I was naive. And I wanted to prove to everyone that I was worth being one of the greatest players of all time."

 

"I did take a banned substance. And for that, I am very sorry and deeply regretful."

[Emmz]

Lol, you're thick if you believe that's not PR ********, and that you couldn't possibly get away with using 'roids. There's a cloud of doubt now, and rightfully so.

[Palodios]

At his salary, he could have a small pharmaceutical company developing new performance enhancing drugs just for him.

This guy pitching for Cleveland is pitching well, in the first inning got out of a huge jam
