A-Rod always looks like a world beater when he's playing the Devil Rays and the score is 15-2, but put him in a pressure situation and he becomes very, very average. He's tremendously skilled, but he seems to have a propensity to pad his numbers in meaningless games (look at the last game against the D-Rays, homers against a crappy team in a blowout game). He really doesn't have any integrity or respect for the game, look at his little bitch move against the Sox last fall when he slapped the ball out of Arroyo's glove because he didn't want to be tagged out.
Finally as for him playing on bad teams, he's been on good teams for the last couple years and has no rings to show for it, and second, he was on bad teams in TX because he was so overpaid that they couldn't afford anyone else, especially pitchers!
