Hell yes they can trade him and get alot for him too. The problem is that the Yankees would have to pay a big bulk of there salary, and I don't see that happening even with the Yankees checkbook.
A Rod is just like K Griffey Jr.
The PERFECT example of why the HOF in modern times does NOT work.
I will not say either juiced - however... What the hell has either done in the post-season (aside from arod vs minnesota (aka 1-10th the yanks payroll) ), tho?
The point is, both are COMPLETE , no - NON-pressure stat whores and I wouldn't even give up Ring or Oliver from the Mutts for ARod. Am I crazy? no...Both can help a team win... Hell, just look at Arod's P.O.S. Post season stats - yet some morons seem to vote him MVP lol!! (IMO, you lose ALL credibility voting for a total chump for MVP - the guy has to play in the post season, also).
Arod and Griffey are BOTH career losers and amongst the worst in the clutch, mathematically, ever. It's like watching Kevin McReynolds play - that guy, pre - roids era, DEFINED what it was like to be a null factor in 95% of his at bats... And get 90+ RBI (when 90 RBIs actually MEANT something - pre roids era - obviously).
Sorry, but ARod is a complete bust unless you're on a garbage team.
The dude is battin 6th for a reason... He freakin SUCKS when it matters.
Sure baseball is all stats blahblah - but Arod, in the clutch, is no better than someone like Max Venable, whom coulda probably played for less than the minimum, if MLB would let him play.
To be honest, I'd rather a solid defensive utility player like Venable on my team than Arod, when it mattered.
Why?
Arod has 0 championships. 0 HUGE hits and 0 pressure plays in his CAREER!
That's why.
The dude freakin SUCKS. He's a total stat whore that people can't get over.
No Yanks fan can defend him - they boo him louder and harder than I do --- and they do it for a reason.
The dickwad says 'I'm pretty and biracical and put up big stats'...K, how's Jeter doin? I hate Jeter, but at least the dude goes out and plays in the big spot.
That's HOW you get rings. Losers have no idea how to get them -that's why Arod won't ever get a ring. He's a stat-whoring player AT BEST.
S'all Imma say.
F Arod - he's HORRIBLE, unless you're playing for 0.
