They are also from a bygone era, before CNN and 24 hour internet news and when the media had respect for players' private lives.

Until A-Rod helps bring one to NY, he won't get a free pass.

He could bring one tomorrow (Thursday) and if I could, I'd still cut him Friday. From his slap-happy play (Bronson Arroyo),to his most gracious agent, to his extra-marital affairs (Can't believe I said that here, but if I was attached I wouldn't hobby; not to mention I retired after being MPASquared back in the fall. No, I'm not throwing stones; it's a personal choice), the guy is the epitome of character that I just wouldn't put up with for half of his price tag.
When they made the deal they had Sorian at 2B and Ventura at 3B. Was A-Rod and Crespo a real upgrade? Dumb move years ago, only looking worse by the day.
