His stats and accomplishments are incredible, he's only 25 years old, and they say he's a great guy too.
But still it's got to be scary to be the GM and make this deal. When do these mega-deals ever work out? Off the top of my head the only one I can think of is Jeter. It's funny because the huge deals seem to pay off for the team in other sports way more than they do in baseball.
Off the top of my head id say maddux, mussina, and sabathia worked out fairly well.

The Yankees sign Tanaka. I thought he might end up with the Dodgers. It's not a good deal.

I think it's hilarious gayrod is still trying to preserve his image at this point. his ego is out of control. I'm sure his lawyers laugh their ass off at him, but he's got the money. The 300mil he made from the exact people he's accusing of lying. It sure would be nice to never see that pathetic liar on the front page of espn anymore. Who gives a fuck.
Only interesting part about it is he never tested positive, but then neither did Sammy sosa

He did test positive in the supposedly anonymous baseline testing that was breached by the government violating everybody's privacy rights. Do you know who else failed the exact same test? David Ortiz.
Juice or no juice I believe that MLB has severely trampled A-Rod's rights. None of the evidence they have would be allowed anywhere near a real court

So then what do you think about Tony Bosch comin out because Arod is harrassing him and threatning him? If thats not enough to show he's a douchebag than I dunno what is.

I have to agree. A-Rod is an asshole, but he shouldn't be suspended. It's all about Selig and his ego; he is acting like a thug.

Didn't Selig bring a giant lawsuit against Bosch that he dropped when the snitch started to sing? What could be more harassing than that? And then promised to pay his legal bills defending him from the feds?

Right, but if I remember correctly he made a deal to stay out of jail. I'm mainly referening to an espn interview of Bosch saying part of the reason he decided to make the deal and snitch was because ARod was threatening him. ARod was trying to shut him up and if I remember correctly, ARod was trying to send Bosch away to some south american country or else there would be a hit on him. I don't know if its true or not but they say they have phone calls and messages to prove it.
I don't even know the guy but he really pisses me off. A bunch of players came forward, apologized, and accepted their suspensions last season. Yet he still lied to everyone and used what little power he had to play last season. He should be banned for life.

I dislike him but, you know, they had drug testing in place and he passed. It gets to the point where it sort of become a witch hunt. I don't support drug testing for any job but since they have it you would think they would let the spying and investigations go. It's not like he raped a five year old. It's just baseball. I also hate Bonds, but same thing.

There is not one shred of evidence that would ever see the light of day in a real courtroom against A-Rod. Nothing. Clemens' accuser wasn't credible either.

Well
Opening day.
What the fuck. Until basketball reforms I'll guess I'll try harder to get into baseball. You can't get a much sorrier sports experience than college basketball.
