When a player is as talented as ARod, you bat him fourth every game and wait.
I don't know why you'd say ARod failed three years in a row in the playoffs. It's a factually incorrect statement.
ARod is a .305 career hitter who hits .290 in the playoffs. 8 HRs in 150 playoff at-bats. Slightly less power than expected, but not by much.
The miserable old bum who singlehandedly beat the Twins in 2004 playoffs? I'd take that player. Or the guy who won three MVPs before he ever met Kate Hudson? I'd that that player.
It's a nice story, I suppose, that ARod is "finally" producing because he's happy and relaxed, but this completely ignores thirteen years of staggering success by an unhappy jerk.

Will Manny do this over a period of three years?
And BTW... given Alex's recent performances... would you still have the old miserable bum that hit .300 in the regular season?
