careful - i may have overreacted as a fan 3 games into the season and said he was a bust, he has shown that april was a bad month and may was agreat month
scuds never said bust - he was talking about the contact size and what he specifically did not do to earn it (the same case can be made for a-rod)
to me if tex and a-rod carry the yankees home in the postseason then every dollar was worth it , if they both do disappearing acts in key clutch spots that both have done in the past in the postseason then they and yankee fans will consider them failures
see to play in NY and take the $ you have to produce in the big post season spotlight , A-rod has carried the team in may before and then had to bat 8th in the lineup because he totally lost it in oct that year
if you ask any yankee fan right now about A-rod's tenure in the bronx is it a passing grade or failing grade - the only answer at this point is failiure , he has to win a world series
tex now falls into the same category he has to win a wrold series
the pitching can carry them there this year, but 1 of those 2 is going to have to be a game changer (ie puljos) in the big spot in oct
