I'm not interested enough in this stuff to keep up with it, but does A-Rod have a reputation among his teammates with the Yankees as being in it all for himself? He moved to 3rd base without any fuss, even though he's probably a better shortstop than Jeter. A-Rod performs in the field and at the plate better than anyone on that team. I'm just curious if the guys that play with him have the same feeling that he's not a team guy.
As for greed ruling him, we could say the same about just about any player that switches teams. Glavine and Maddox were a part of something special in the Braves rotation, but they left for a bigger contract than they were going to get with Atlanta. Did they NEED more money? That's not my place to say, since what someone else makes is none of my business--that's between them and the one that signs the check.
