......when I've been waiting so long for Celizic to write again, and he's not even that wrong for most of the article, it's disappointing. So I have to point out the one majorly dumb thing he's said. It's a story we've all heard before.
I was all for trading A-Rod before the season began. My reasoning was that he was never going to thrive in New York, and the Yankees could get a lot of pitching for him.
Before the season began, Alex Rodriguez had played 3 seasons for your beloved Yankees, Mikey. Any idea what his collective WARP3 was for those years?
Forgive me for asking a question about a sabermetric stat to someone who can't even grasp OPS, but it was 30.3. Alex Rodriguez has been, by himself, worth approximately ten wins to the Yankees every full year there. 9 A-Rods and replacement level pitching would win the Yankees 110-115 games per year. That's not THRIVING? Didn't he win some sort of award in 2005 for being the thriviningest player to thrive in the thriving American League?
Mike Celizic: casual Yankee fan that got a job somehow.
