Alex Rodriguez out of New York?
Now that the playoffs are over for the Yank-shes and A-Rod didn't carry the team (a mere 4-15) like all the NY fans expected his salary to, where will he end up next year?
No, it's not official. And I know there have been plenty of diaries on this very topic this season, but somebody had to start the offseason speculation and I sure as hell wasn't going to let that somebody be the Snarky 3000.
Poll on the right.

I would rather start the speculation
Or maybe we could trade them Ron Washington. I'm sure they'd love that.

Don't feel like making a diary

i think
id say angels, tigers/cubs, yankees but i think that he goes to the angels
and i dont think that 300 mil is out of the scope of reality...

I think
NY Press: Alex, where do you think you'll play next? And why?
ARod: One nice option would be back to Texas. Mr. Hicks is great to work for and with. And just visualize, me and Mike and Hank and Kevin and Vicente and 20 kids. What a future!
NY Press: Ummm, we hadn't thought about that.

Just for kicks
2b Kinsler
OF Cat
SS Young
3b ARod
1b Blalock
DH Botts
OF Byrd
C Saltalamacchia
OF Cruz
In reality - ARod goes to the West Coast. Lets pray it isn't Anaheim.

Doesn't Young have

He's not an ideal #3 hitter
Really, the Rangers are without a legit #3 or #4 hitter as it stands today.

I don't want Arod
Cat
Young
Blalock
AROD
Kinsler
Byrd
Salty
Murphy
Botts
I think Blalock would benefit A LOT by seeing better pitches since AROD is hitting behind him.

Kinsler
Rowand

"the 3 hole? He's great there."
He hit 82 OPS points higher in the 2nd spot.
Not to mention, you can't have someone slugging .418 be expected to drive in runs consistently. He would be overmatched. The stats bear it out: Young slugged .396 in 424 AB's from the 3 spot, whereas .460 from the 2nd spot over 215 AB's.
Similar numbers hold true for '06 as well.

The Third Spot

I'd love to see it happen.
And I think you'd have to bat ARod 3rd with Young hitting 2nd and Blalock 4th.
Like I said, I'd love to see it happen. It would definitely make our offense and defense better. But Hicks won't do it ... and neither will ARod.

Move Young to 2B.......

Never knew til today:
Not so far away. I didn't know there was a hard deadline attached to this thing.
Crazy to think Boras will have to take the temperature on the FA market so quickly. Almost seems like a case for borderline tampering?

Boras...hahahaha!
This guy (Boras) is unbelievable. Hicks let A-Rod loose for fear of an injury. And now? Boras is looking for another 10 year deal?
It's bananas.

Fear of injury
Most likely ARod will have a longer than usual career, but anyone who pays him a bigger deal than he got previously is nuts.

A-Rod Injury
It's funny to me, NOW people are certain he's worth a bundle. And Boras will stress every positive in the world. Just like Zito. Who will probably play until he's 55.
There's a sucker born every minute.

I think
I think it had a lot more to do with Buck not liking Alex, and Alex not liking Buck, and Alex not wanting to be on a noncontending team for the forseeable future.

Boras...
It's like the movie voice-over guy:
"Imagine a world, where one mortal man dominates, destroys, crushes, he's...A_ROD___!"
And he wants to play in YOUR town forever.
