The team will survive without him. in 2001 the mariners improved when Arod left for texas,by winning 116 games. Teams do better when he's not around. Arod taints the chemistry of any team he comes to,watch. The reason this is true ,is because it's all about him,never the team he plays on.Boras drowns everybody in Arod stats,and you walk around in a stupor,saying how great Arod is,while never winning a WS,but watch him work on his personal record during the season ,and tank in postseason.

That is because the Yankees have played tight since the 2004 ALCS collapse, which has negatively impacted their offense. That can be seen in the decline in their postseason OBP from their regular season OBP from 2005-2007. The Yankees need to win a postseason series to exorcise the hangover. Torre has managed tight. That is an important reason why a new manager was needed. Beckett wasn't particularly good in 2006. Perhaps he will regress in 2008. We don't know that M'zaka will be better next season; the league may adjust to his motion and stuff. Schilling is in decline. I think Hughes and Joba are better than Bucholz and Lester.
