    Just having it for free - yes. Paying for it and having less overall team talent because your entire budget goes to one stud - no.

    A-Rod hands down....
    I'd start at maybe six good years. If he can avoid all of the aches and pains that'll really be starting in on him soon, there's still the dropoff in eyesight and reflexes that nearly every hitter succumbs to eventually.

    mets? dodgers? Giants?
    This is a little late to the thread but, as a Giants fan, I sure hope not on either of the latter two. If he goes to the Dodgers, he will have a pristine end to his career and it will be **** to the Giants. If he goes to the Giants, he'll be injured the rest of his career and be almost as worthless as Zito. Either way, the Giants lose

    Not too pessimistic, are we?

    You insist that there is something a machine cannot do. If you will tell me precisely what it is that a machine cannot do, then I can always make a machine which will do just that! -J. von Neumann

    Well, considering that the last time the Giants won it all they were in NYC...........

    Nope, no pessimism here. I would tend to call it realism.... or the luck of the Giants.

    True, but there are some teams that can pay A-Rod what Boros wants him to get and still pay the other 24 guys plenty. Exactly how many teams can do that is hard to tell. I'm guessing it's more teams than most people think.
