Agreed that A-Rod might not be the most clutch player in baseball. But it always seems that the rest of the (very paid all-star roster) seems to always get a pass. In recent playoff failures, it has not only been A-Rod that hasn't come through. Guys like Matsui, Giambi, Posada (who always gets a pass, because he's Captin America's boy) and dare I say it Captain America too haven't produced in big situations.
In 2007 when they lost to the Indians 3 guys hit above 270 in the series and one of them was a guy who only had 4 at bats. Captain America hit into multiple double plays taking them out of potential big innings. But A-Rod in public enemy #1 and still takes all the heat.
