    Cubs need to go find some decent pitching first. Zambrano is the only reliable starter they have. Worry about adding big bats later.

    It will be the perfect fit for Arod.

    A short left field where the wind blows out, playing for a manager who will coddle him, in a town where nobody expects a winner. He can finish out his career piling up meangless numbers in pressure free games.

    His dream job indeed.

    Of course Pinella wants Arod.

    Every team wants Arod....everyone except the yankees that is.

    Who wouldn't want arguably the greatest player of this generation on their team? Oh wait, yankee fans think that it's too mentally challenging to play in ny. Hah! I hope he leaves that place and goes someplace where he's wanted by the fans, instead of despised for his talents and his money.

    With Texas picking up 10 Mill of Rodriguez's salary, nearly every team in the MLB is thinking of trying to trade for ARod. Now, I know he's a great player and he'll go down as one of the greatest ever. But you know, sometimes things just don't work out. I would've loved to see him succeed in the Bronx(come on, him and Jete together; as a fan who grew up watching those two it wouldve been amazing) but things just don't seem to be working out. I think that once the multiple proposals come in, I honestly believe that Cashman and Torre will see where Arod would like to go. Let him leave amicably, and wish him the best while helping the team rebuild with a position player as well as a starter or a couple prospects. The Cubbies fans are great, and they'll treat him right. No pressure, and since Pineilla is there the Cubs will return to respectability.

    Ax-NY is the toughest sports city in the USA. Outside of euro soccer leagues(as well as SA soccer clubs), the NY metro area is crazy tough.

    Arod would be a great fit with the Cubs, very little pressure and a great park to hit in. He might hit 60 HRs there. But if the Cubs don't find replacements for 60-Day DL club members Prior and Woods in the rotation they aren't going anywhere in the standings, unfortunately. And trading Zambrano for him would be an absolute broad daylight robbery from the Yankees perspective!

    Grote, that's exactly why I can't see the Cubs getting him. As poor as he played in the playoffs, this guy is still money for .300 35 110 every year--plus the fact the Yanks will probably pick up another 3 mil from his salary and he looks like a good fit for about 10 teams. I don't think the Cubs have what the Yanks are going to want, which would be one good starter and one good pitching prospect plus an adequate 3rd baseman (although I like Ramirez in Chicago). I think right now the Yanks are being flooded with offers, but my money would be on the Angels getting him, they just have so many good young players (especially pitchers), and they desperately need the offense.

    I don't think its going to b much for ARod. The Yanks want him out of town. They also seem to have a thing for washed up pitchers so possibly either Wood, Prior and Wade Miller along with a prospect and I think the Yanks will take the deal.

    nope, A-Rod is owed just 15 mil per year by whoever may trade for him. A bargain for his "supposed" prowess on the field. The Yanks will not deal the clown without a bonafide young arm in return.

    Perhaps I should have clarified. Arod is a fantastic talent - absolutely without a doubt. However, great bats are relatively common in comparison to great pitching. Therefore, teams aren't very likely to give up a great pitcher or prospect to acquire Arod's services. Throw in the relative desperation with which the yanks want him gone, and you have little to no incentive for teams to throw lots of pitching talent ny's way for Arod.

But he lacks the MJ factor. He doesn't make the players around him better. I'm not saying he's selfish or a whore for the spotlight, but its quite obvious that players that can bring the best out of their teammates are considered the best in their game. Jeter is not one them.

    I think someone will pony up a high quality young arm for A-Rod. I know I would if all I had to pay him is 15 million. There has been some loose talk that the Tigers may be interested, and God knows they have enough arms, but of course the logical place would be Anaheim. I'd be interested to hear what skinpitch has to say on this, but I 'suspect' that A-Rod would be more valuable to a team then a solid #2 starter.

    I think Jeter's still PO'd about those remarks A-Rod made in that article when he was still in Texas. And who knows what all transpired in the locker room-- for all I know Derek Jeter is a steady, level headed guy and A-Rod's an insufferable narcissist. Or, of course, it could be the other way around. That being said, I think the argument that Jeter should have done more to bring A-Rod into the fold IF Jeter's primary concern is winning is a pretty good one.

    In a way this compares to the Yzerman-Federov deal from about 7 years ago. I can't imagine that StevieY liked Sergei at all, but he did a pretty good job of trying to get the team to embrace him. As a captain I think one of your jobs is to rise above the pettiness and personal issues and do whatever you need to do to give your team the best chance to win- and if that means publicly supporting a teammate who you cannot stand as a human being then so be it.
  • AxtellAxtell Posts: 10,037 ✭✭
    I think everything that needs to be said about jeter's failings as a captain was that one fateful day where Arod was planted squarely under a pop fly, jeter ranged over, tried to call off Arod, and caused the ball to fall to the ground. Then, instead of picking the ball up and making a throw, he sits there, glaring at Arod like a petty child who never learned how to share his toys.

    jeter has never shown any leadership qualities, and his title of 'captain' is purely that - a title. It was his job as 'captain' to integrate Arod into the fold, and jeter failed miserably.

    I can't wait for Arod to get out of ny, get away from the crybaby fans who have relished in booing him every day for the last 3 years, and gets to a place where he'll be embraced. He'd be a hero at Wrigley field...the fans there are among the most loyal in the country. They (rightfully) embrace the home team - instead of booing them.

    I find it quite interesting that anyone would say that Jeter need coddling and that he isnt a leader when all of his teammates love him and praise him for his leadership in the clubhouse and on the field. Do you people know something that his teammates dont know?????

    Yes, ARod has GREAT abilities...but he has proven those abilities to be useless under pressure. That kind of play doesnt fit in NY. Just the way it is. Should that be any fault of the fans? Of management? Of ownership? Of teammates? Hell no...its all on him.
    Lets not forget that ARod's has so much ego, he refused to let Don Mattingly help him. And I hope no one is insinuating that ARod's performance is related to Jeter. That would just be ridiculous.

    I personally feel the Yankees will give ARod ONE more chance. He needs to clean up that mess inside of his head. I'm sure management will tell him to be ready to perform when he comes back next spring. And we arent talking about padding the numbers either.

    zef, how in the world did you come to this conclusion? How do the Yankees coddle Derek Jeter? No way, I have seen him play every day for 11 years now and all he does is play every day, hustles all the time, handles the media with class, etc. AT no time have I ever seen the Yankees "coddle" Derek Jeter. If there is ANY Yankee player that need coddling it is definately A-Rod. He is a mental mess.

    Also, please name these "many other" stars he has not worked well with? I can't come up with one.

    But it does apparently take a genius to spell 'doesn't' and 'false' correctly.

    If the Cubs include Carlos Zambrano in any kind of ARod deal, they are nuts. He's the only top starter they have (that can stay healthy) - and to part with him for an offensive player just isn't wise. You can get ARod's production elsewhere, unfortunately you can't get Zambrano's production elsewhere.

    It is tough for the Yankee Jeter groupies to hear how Jeter fails as a team "captain". Not helping, supporting, or sticking up for ARod even once is a perfect example. Not allowing ARod to play SS (where he is naturally better than Jeter) is another example. Coming to the defense of noted steroid users like Giambi and Sheffield, and not saying a single thing that would have calmed the NY media down regarding ARod is yet another. You could go on and on...

    But, he dives into the stands and catches foul balls in a really cool fashion. Maybe that's it.
