Actually, no, not at all. A-Rod was a gold-glove caliber SS (a real one, not a fake one like Jeter...And I am a Yanks fan). Don't think you can find many people who would say that five years ago A-Rod wasn't the better SS. I think he'd still be a better SS than Jeter. As far as third base goes, except for last year, A-Rod has been an above-average third basemen, so I'm not sure what you're talking about, either. I think you're just part of the ridiculous "hate A-Rod" club. I will never understand Sox fans' special vitriol for A-Rod, when it was Sox management's fault for screwing up the deal that would have landed A-Rod in Boston.
As a sox fan i was all for that at the time but that might have been the best thing that never happened for our team, im not sure we would have been in the position we are in if that deal ever went thru.
