Alex Rodriques
Johan Santana
Their positions are too vastly different for the comparions to be fair
their value about the same

Shouldn't the question be "Who would you rather have on your team, if you had to choose between the two?"
As BM gms, we could each answer the question by imagining them both in the same draft, and it's our turn to pick.
For myself, it would be no contest -A-Rod...mainly for the reason that I've stated before -longevity.

well your draft senarios heavily depends on who you got already on your team though, if you had a Mike Schmidt in his prime already at 3rd you would prbably pass on Arod and take Santana...Originally Posted by Rongar

Or if you had Cal Ripken at Short... Totally true...now if you had the first pick, I would pick A-rod.

I think their positions are to vastly different to have a fair comparison
Oh no, not him again
ARod would put butts in the seats every day. Santana only every 5th day. If you're an owner, that aspect cannot be ignored.

Re: which player provides the most value per dollar?
Good point, B.C....I never thought of that

David Ortiz by a long shot. Most underpaid player in the MLB.

Is that a joke?
If you want to expand it out to every player, and not at all adjust for when contract was signed/arbtiration/whatever, there are a lot of players who provide more value per dollar than Ortiz, A-Rod, Santana, and any other high-paid superstar.
