Alex Rodriguez' contract is definitely better. He puts up better numbers than Jeter and plays better defense than Jeter.

As for all this crap about Jeter being the only one that cares...I guess I must have been dreaming when I saw that look on the face of Alex Rodriguez when Pokey Reese ended New York's season. That wasn't a look of, "Oh well, at least I'm getting 25 million!"

Now from a business standpoint, Jeter does bring in a lot of revenue, but think about how much MORE revenue he would bring in if he was paid by his on-field value instead of his New York bias.

edit: Revenue is obviously the same no matter the salary. I should say "Profit".
