considering i am sure the DU has some baseball fans in its midst, i want to ask this question to you all. IS A-ROD WORTH THE MONEY now that its been proven that he has taken some illegal substances during some of his peak years??? Is he truly deserving of the richest contract in all of sports?

subscribe, comment and rate the video please. :) i don't seem to post on here nearly as much anymore, and it makes me sad. :(

3. no people are frequently paid more or less than they are worth
with sports with long term contracts, there are many players who are being payed more than they are worth

i think someone who is clean, like Manny (THUS FAR, i am not ruling out the idea that he is also a druggie) deserves a big contract, not someone who deserves an asterisk by their name.

5. Well, baseball is screwed up as far as parity goes anyway....
9/10 MLB teams wouldn't even think of paying one player what A-Rod makes. It's a screwed up system to begin with.
