In the post of the year, Giuseppe Franco says that the Yankees cannot win the World Series without Alex Rodriguez.
The Yankees have won 26 World Series without him. Somehow.
How DARE that selfish A-Rod not help the Yankees win the 1962 World Series!!! Can the Yankees win without A-Rod? Sure. I mean, they did it while he was still with the Mariners. But without A-Rod at third base, and with Cody Ransom, they were one hell of a weaker team.
I realize it’s spring training, but the Yankees have looked terrific.You know who also wasn't there at this point during ST? Derek Jeter. I think I read somewhere that during Jeter's injury in 2003, the Yankees went a pretty incredible 25-11. Nobody suggested the Yankees were better without Jeter because that would be the stupidest thing ever. You're never a better team without your best players.
But that money they spent on him in 2007 could have been used elsewhere.Yeah, maybe we could have gotten Sabathia and Teixeira in the off-season. ;_;
The last comment (in case anyone else pokes in to make fun of him, it's the November 8 comment) in that thread is gold.
