arod for his career is a good playoff hitter. his b.a. is only slightly lower than jeter's, but obp and slugging are better. and yes, arod had another great season. the issue is what arod has done in the playoffs FOR THE YANKEES. nothing. he has killed this team in the playoffs since he became a yankee. that's a problem. this team underachieves every year in the postseason. now torre knows what bobby cox felt like in the 1990s.
Dan Gladden was awesome.
a-rods sucks
J.D. Drew at $14.4M? Tell me that's a typo.

Don't go messing with Dan "Wrench" Gladden, Flagpole. Every team should have a guy who cares about the game as much as he did. One of the things about these big-buck teams like the Yankees is that it becomes all about the paycheck (and the image and the endorsements ...).
Gladden was a decent player who did well in the post season. He's just not a Hall of Famer like A-Rod.

Yankee teams of late have NOT been underachieving in the postseason. A playoff team is only as good as its starting pitching, and their starting pitching has been mediocre.
