People made too much of a big deal about Rogers' previous postseason career. The last time he pitched in the playoffs was in 2003. Throughout his entire career, he had accumulated 20.1 postseason innings. That was not significant in any way at all.

Overall, teams need to put less stock in what players have done in the past and start relying on projections for future performance that account for age.

I guarantee that if more GMs looked past the pretty statistics like AVG, HR, and RBI for hitters, and W-L, ERA, and K for pitchers there would be a lot less bad free agent signings.

Another thing, I'm happy as hell that the Yankees got bounced but I'm sick of the ARod bashing. If they are really going to trade him, they are retarded. They won't get equal talent in return and they will have to pay at least $10M to get any deal done.
