A-Rod may want to check the NL Rulebook for chopping the ball out of the mitt of a player attempting to tag you…
Apparently the San Francisco Giants are interested in pursuing Alex Rodriguez as the new potential face of their franchise with the imminent end-of-the-road approaching for cro-magnan man Barry Bonds and impending free agency of Omar Vizquel and Pedro Feliz. From a baseball standpoint, why not go after A-Rod? He is the best player in the sport right now, and if Feliz and Vizquel both bolt, A-Rod can have his pick of which position he’d like to play between shortstop and third base.
But on the flipside, if the Giants do pursue and land A-Rod, they’ve officially become the 2000 Portland Trail Blazers of baseball. They continue to stockpile the least likeable players in baseball as the foundation of their team. Granted no one is in the same league as Bonds, who’s pretty much become the Richard Nixon of baseball with his cheating and lying (all he needs to do now is get caught stealing important documents from Brian Sabean’s office), but A-Rod’s not exactly viewed by most baseball pundits as a regular Sean Casey in the clubhouse. Rodriguez can bring 50 homers to San Francisco, but he can also bring his karate-chopping, calling the other team off a pop-ups, hanging out with strippers antics as well.
If the Giants keep Bonds and lure A-Rod, I say they go the whole nine yards and bring in Elijah Dukes, Roman Colon, Carl Everett, and every other reputable player. I bet their fans would still cheer them all, just ask Bonds.
