Re: A-Rod MVP
Ortiz was more valuable to his team, and more valuable in late inning close games
Arod was good and pilling on runs in blowouts, and disappearing in the postseason |

Re: A-Rod MVP
How did those Red Sox games get to be close in the first place? How did the Yankee games get to be blowouts? If Ortiz had better numbers in the late innings of close games, maybe his worse numbers in the early innings were one of the reasons the games were close to begin with. You don't get extra credit for a run scored in the 8th vs. a run scored in the 4th. A-Rod contributed more wins to his team than did Ortiz. The two teams won the same number of games.
A-Rod is a .330 hitter with a .978 OPS in the post-season, vs. .307/.962 regular season. |

Re: A-Rod MVP
I just don't understand why New York doesn't like ARod? All the papers act like he didn't deserve it and should have been given to someone else. Damn yankees (northern people, not the actual team)

I don't know any Yankee fans that don't like him. If anything negative is said about him, it's about how much money he makes, not how he plays. Except for Jeter and Mariano, he's probably the most popular Yankee player today. On the other hand, I don't know a single Mets fan that likes him. So having the Mets in NY may have a factor in how the media portrays A-Rod. |

Damn yankees (northern people, not the actual team) [/ QUOTE ] I think it's something to do with the fact that he has not yet succeeded in the playoffs yet, and that is a big strike against him. That being said, I'm glad he's a Yankee. Sooner or later he's going to come around, right? |
