I was going to bite my tongue, but instead I must say: Only a team that would pay a SS $25 million would give Van Poppel $3 million.
and your point is pointless- there was an extra 25 million dollars (all on contracts after A-rod's except Ivan Rodrgiez) that was spent basically on pitching, and it was awful. As for Van Poppel, first you argue that they should spend it on pitching, and then you say they shouldnt have- well hindisght is 20-20, but the poit remains that the blame here lies on their player assesment team- not on A-rod.
