What If???? The Alternate Story of A-Rod

[Mizerak]

I like the What-If scenario here...it is a neat idea to use BBM to see what would have happened if certain rumoured trades actually happened. Good work.

[Ninetyfourgoali]

Yeah, I've always wondered what would happen if we got Arod. its pretty funny to think but we would be in love with him and the yankee fans would think he's such a douche

[RedsoxRockies]

Great idea!

[OldYankFan]

Can I start an A-Roid Chant now?

I was hoping to find out how you convinced Texas to make the deal.

Didn't have to convince Texas, they were all in for it. It was the MLBPA that prevented Arod from restructuring his contract. I'll explain how though

This is a great idea. Can't wait to see what happens with the Sox. Let's see some more.

[Red Sox Fan 734]

Wow there both hitting over .400.

[Ninetyfourgoali]

Should I move Hanley Ramirez to 3B, move A-Rod to 3B or trade Hanley?
