Who gives a shit? A-Rod doesn't want to be here, and if he's so emotionally fragile that he has to issue an ultimatum to fans that its "up to them" whether he stays or not...good riddance. I honestly think now that A-Rod thinks he is better than he is. His defense (as shown last night) is lacking; he's one of the worst defensive third basemen in the league (stats wise). His offense is good, but is it A-Rod good? No. It's also not worth the huge contract.

I say we go back to the old formula - get someone at the hot corner who can play defense...maybe we can give Scott Brosius a call. Hell, Graig Nettles would be better at this point.
