no.. nobody will take that albatross contract w/ all those HR perks.. if in fact he does hit them.. and if we have to pay a chunk of it, id rather just play the guy.. pretty sure he has a full NTC and is protected from the minors, so, unless he wants to leave.. him and his contract are going nowhere
i have a feeling the bats will come alive tonight.. not giving up hope just yet
EDIT: okay, after a little more thought and not seeing A-Rod in the starting lineup again, I have a feeling this is just not related to baseball anymore.. I think you may be right conscript.. i think they will try and unload this guy.. if his contract were a little more friendly, it would be no brainer.... but it just being so god awful.. it's just a matter of finding someone desperate enough.. i dunno if there will be any takers..
why bench him and emasculate him like this if you plan on having on the team for the next 5 years.. i don't see it happening now
i wouldn't be surprised if they pull off something totally out of no where like firing Girardi.. which i wouldn't mind see happening
