The Red Sox are an aging team lucky to win 90 games..Lowell, Ortiz and Varitek are way past their prime..Cameron and Beltre are mediorce at best and the pitching must stay healthy in order to contend in 2010..

And not that it really matters, but I do understand it’s probably tough to not go with Boston or NY as 1st and/or 2nd, but you all honestly think it’s going TB, Balt, and Tor the rest of the way? Come on! Stop agreeeing!

What a waste….Sidney Ponson.

Really talented guy that had SO MUCH potential…..and he basically just pissed it all away.

Actually, I read somewhere just recently that he just signed a contract with the Long Island Ducks (I think that’s the name?) of the Independent League.

Guess he figures that he’ll start his comeback.

Jose Reyes is a punk.

And Russell Martin is a thug.

A-Rod is just A-Rod…..sort of like Manny being Manny…..only more tolerable.

If his power keeps vanishing I don’t think you’ll have to worry about Russell Martin much longer

A-Rod … went and got the most money that people were willing to pay him

the same that every other person and athlete would do.

He doesn’t ever stand and watch his homeruns . . .ala Bonds, Manny, David Ortiz… and ever Ryan Howard (which i’ve b!tched about before)

If he didn’t play for the Yankees, people wouldn’t care… but now that he does.. he’s gone from the Seattle, Texas, “everyone’s favorite” . . . to now where people can’t stand him

A-Rod just took the “nice guy” act and rolled with it . . . he never tried to be cooler than Griffey Jr.

or c0ckier than Barry Bonds..

He just went about his business . . . and I only blame him for steriods, as much as I blame 80% of the other players who did it at the time..

We all know what happened… he’ll have to face the music later in life when he can’t get it up while sitting on his yacht

But I would welcome A-Rod to philly in a heartbeat..

…
I hate JOSE REYES, and RUSSELL MARTIN more than any other players in baseball

In fact one of the first A-Rod moments I can remember is the 2001 All-Star game, when he took the field, moved himself to third base and goaded Cal Ripken into playing short, since it was likely his last All-Star game. That showed to me that he had a lot of class.

I don’t ever recall much showboating from A-Rod. He seems to keep it pretty close to the vest, actually. He’s a bit . . . odd in situations where he has to talk to people, but that’s all I’ve noticed. And I don’t really blame him for getting as much money as he could, especially considering how willing the Yankees were to pay it to him.

Ehh, i’d give him some credit for helping the Phillies and maybe respect him a little bit more, but I STILL wouldn’t like him.

My reasons for disliking him are plentiful, and the Steroids issue isn’t even the biggest one for me.

He just is too much of a showboat, self-first,overpaid, irritating clown, with vanity issues.

And I am sure that there are a sizable amount of Yankees fans who probably dislike him too, but they tolerate him because he’s a good player for their team.

You’d hate him but if he hit game….and SERIES …..winning home runs you might learn to love him a little.

He may be one of the best players, but that doesn’t mean I have to like him or root for him to win anything.

Even if he played for the Phillies, I would still hate him.

There are certain players that I love regardless of the team they play for, and others that i’d hate anywhere.

Love him or loathe him…..A-Rod is one of the best. I agree that he’s worthy of MVP talk every year.

Yikes, sloppy typo. Thanks Chuck.

Alex Rodriguez is one of the best hitters in the game, picking him to win MVP is hardly ridiculous.
