I wanted them to get rid of everyone on your list too. But not the way it went down today. I was hoping Brian Cashman would take care of it.

RIP Corey Lidle :sad2:

I can not understand why Yankee fan's want to get rid of A-Rod so bad. Yes he had an off postseason, again. So did the rest of the Yankees. A-Rod probably just had the worst season of his career and look at the numbers he put up. I'm tired of hearing that he isn't clutch. All these homers and RBI's didn't come againts the Royals and Devil Rays when they were already up 8-0. I read somewhere; I'll see if I can dig it up, that in the 2005 season A-rod had better clutch numbers than Jeter and Big Papi.

i have to disagree check a-rods numbers in his career in playoffs.a-rod is a great a player i wont argue that he has done amazing things and he is going to the hall of fame.he is infamous for not coming through in the playoffs clutch situations or not and thats his track record .i love the way he plays ball and he is a great person off the field.but i dont think NY is the place for him.note:NY is famous for there fans.

i understand what your saying and a-rods numbers just went up in the month of august and september.now look at where alexs bats and jeter bats.if jeter doesnt get on base, arod doesnt put up the numbers that he did.arod had a bad year and still put up great numbers.but this isnt about the regular season this is about post season situations that he couldnt come through on and this dates back to seattle.and big papi aint nothing without homers he cant field and after ramirez went out of the line up those numbers were not that crazy.jeter is one of the most clutch players in the MLB.and one of the main reasons for winning so many titles but one man cant do it by hisself. arod has not pulled an aaron boone yet in his career in the playoffs.nw that is what a great player like alex is suppose to do.he needs to work on something.

Neither of those links take this season into account. No denying that A-rod is a future HOF'er. However there have been countless great ballplayers that could not handle the NY limelight. Unfortunately K-rod is one of them. His 'clutch' offense during the season was non-existant this year. Hitting a solo HR when your team is up by three runs does not compare to hitting a three run HR when your team is down by three runs.

As for A-rod's post season #'s with the Yankees, they are atrocious.
Before he joined the Yankees in 2004:
GP = 15
AB = 53
hits = 18
BA = .340
HR = 3
RBI = 8

After he joined the Yankees in 2004:
GP = 20
AB = 79
hits = 19
BA = .241
HR = 3 (all in 2004)
RBI = 8 (all in 2004)

Recap: In 2004 he was 16 for 50 hitting .320
Since then (2005 & 2006) he is 3 for 29 hitting .103

Please show me where this $25 million dollar player is clutch.

I truly believe Alex can succeed in MLB as one of the all time greats. I think he would do it with ease somewhere else. He obviously can't do it in NY. I don't want him playing for the bombers. Period. The End.
