Quan,

I guess you can count me in that .1% of baseball fans that would prefer to win. It's funny that all the guys you mention (Eckstein, Counsell, Erstad, Brosius) all have championship rings. In fact, all but Erstad have MULTIPLE rings! In addition, both Eckstein and Brosius have been World Series MVP.

To answer your question, yes, I would much rather have a team full of winners than your team full of losers, or as you put it "A-Rods." Hell, I'd throw Eckstein on the mound and make him throw lefty. Don Larsen only had one perfect game in the World Series. My scrappy pseudo-amidextrous midget might throw back to back to back perfectos! I also might let Counsell pitch, but using 19th century stiff-arm delivery only. Or maybe underhand. Either way, your team of A-Rods has no chance of getting on base, let alone score a run.

As a Yankee fan, I am not at all joking when I say I would gladly trade A-Rod for Brosius straight up. And Brosius has been retired since 2001! I may be an idiot, but I want the best chance of winning. It is not possible to win with Alex Rodriguez.

It was Shakespeare who wrote the most accurate description of A-Rod's career to date: Full of sound and fury, SIGNIFYING NOTHING.
