I hope the Yankees win the next ten in a row ...

... but why would ARod necessarily choose to stay in New York if he wanted to win a Chamopionship?

I know ARod wants money above all. Just like almost everybody else. I also know that the state of flux within the Yankee organization had very little to do with ARod's decfision to opt out. I would think ARod would be happier with Girardi as manager than with Torre as manager.

But this observation simply makes no sense:

"We know only this: Rodriguez will go where the money is best. He obviously doesn’t care what people think about him. His legacy will always be more about his contract than championships."

If a major league baseball player wanted to win a championship above all other things, for which team would he choose to play?

For the Yankees or for the Angels?

For the Yankees or for the Red Sox?

For the Yankees or for the Cubs?

For the Yankees or for the Rockies?

For the Yankees or for the Tigers?

For the Yankees or for the Mets?

For the Yankees or for the Cardinals?

I don't absolutely know the answer. I know that Jeter's range is slipping, Posada is getting old, Rivera is getting old, and Pujols/ARod would make a good 1-2 punch.

I also know that some of the team mentioned above probably couldn't even afford ARod, so the question is moot.

But you put ARod at ss for the Dodgers and you don't think they can win the World Series? In the weak-ass National League?

Maybe he's getting out of the A.L. East simply because he wants to win a World Series.
