Speaking as an avid Yankee fan... I really hope that the Red Sox DO get A-Rod. As much as i respect A-Rod and his abilities.. he is still the most overpaid person in the world.
Also... If you actually think about it... Nomar can make almost any play A-Rod can make at SS and A-Rod's 3-5 at bats a game cant be better than Manny and Nomar's 6-10 at bats a game. Manny and Nomar combined will provide more chances for HR, RBI, and makes more threat so pitchers cant pitch around just one guy.
besides.. who's gonna play left field? (even tho.. its not as if Manny plays neways

)
I do have to say... Schilling hurt bad... and losing Andy made it hurt even more... It'll be a good season next year... w00h00
