There are two unbelievable obvious answers to that question:<BR/><BR/>1) When trade talks were going on with the Boston Red Sox, A-Rod volunteered to reduce his contracted salary by $12 million. The players association wouldn't allow it stating it created a bad precedent.<BR/><BR/>2) When traded to the Yankees, A-Rod, the defending AL gold glove (for what it's worth) shortstop and better defensive player than Jeter volunteered to change positions and play 3B.<BR/><BR/>I guess if you look past the volunteered pay cut of $12 million and the offer to change positions (even though he was better at SS than Jeter), then Jemele is right on.

That's not really a problem for A-Rod because he gets a shitload of walks. Also, most people (players invluded) realize stats like OPS and EqA better determine a player's value (over BA). So guys don't shoot fr higher batting averages as much anymore.<BR/><BR/>2) as a fielder, a player hogs balls in the infield instead of letting another player with a better chance to make the play have at it. And that really doesn't happen either.erizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17086572927569320685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300012139741038635.post-47746784323028523392007-11-08T13:17:00.000-08:002007-11-08T13:17:00.000-08:00if kobe did have a 50% chance of hitting a shot, t...<B>if kobe did have a 50% chance of hitting a shot, that would be above his career average, so i would say go for it - especially considering no one on the team averaged 50%+ from the field, except big men, whose usage rate/ turnovers ration was just as bad, if not worse, than kobe's<BR/></B><BR/><BR/>Yeah that's exactly why I used 50 percent as an arbitrary value. Kobe making this theoretical shot will improve both his FG% and his point total. But assuming he's triple covered, a pass to a wide open big man in the paint would still be a higher percentage play. The big man may be a 35% shooter, but I assure you he's a much better shooter wide open in the paint.<BR/><BR/>The point of the illustration on my part is to show how a player being selfish in the game of basketball is way different then another player being "selfish" in baseball.erizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17086572927569320685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300012139741038635.post-58350566065444528252007-11-08T13:16:00.000-08:002007-11-08T13:16:00.000-08:00Don't credit Jemele with coming up with "A-Fraud",...Don't credit Jemele with coming up with "A-Fraud", that nickname has been around for years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300012139741038635.post-43304739262878843692007-11-08T13:10:00.000-08:002007-11-08T13:10:00.000-08:00I bet you have at least 12 readers.
