Default A-Rod has pretty amazing company

hey anthony,
went to a few angels games (against the dodgers) but never really been a fan. how can you not love the dodgers with billy ashley, delino deshields, and raul mondesi!

peter,
close call but i'd still take 9 a-rods with his ungodly EQA+ over 9 Jeters with his intangibles and winnerism...although i've got no problem with Jeter as he's a probable hof'er.

ryan,
i can't argue with you as you have the gift of gab and your biting sarcastic humor always cracks me up. However throughout the season players will have stretches of 1-18 or 4-31. You can't just focus on these small sample sizes and judge someone by them. I put Eckstein and Brosius in there knowing they were playoff MVPs to prove the point that if you look at a small number of games anyone can get lucky and look like Babe Ruth. However they're both average players at best in their careers and without guys like Arod they wouldn't even be in the playoffs. Eckstein/Brosius career value/win share above replacement players would suggest they're interchangeable with guys like alex cora and mark bellhorn...
