kinda OT: A-Rod or Kobe? 

Post#1 » by Howling Mad » Tue Oct 30, 2007 6:53 pm

Given the situation in Chicago, and assuming the trades made will be a happy agreement for both sides. Meaning-fair and equal as possible, who would you want for your city?

Kobe for your b-ball team

or

A-Rod for your baseball team

Please do you best to neglect team needs, chemistry etc etc, and all that other junk.

A-Rod. Kobe's a wank. I'd have no problem cheering for A-Rod.

A-Rod puts the Cubs way over the top in the NL. He and can be acquired for cash, not half your roster.

I hate Kobe so Arod is an easy choice. Also Arod can almost carry a team to the playoffs by himself. With DLee, Aram, and Soriano they wouldn't miss the playoffs for the next 8 years. Getting to the playoffs consistently would be a great start. You can't win the WS if you can't make it to the playoffs.

A-Rod.

The Yankees don't make the playoffs without A-Rod.

Besides being in the playoffs? With someone like Arod, Rameriz could get alot more rest through out the season and maybe be healthy come the playoffs. Who knows what difference it could make for Rameriz to be rested and healthy during the playoffs. And given enough opportunities somebodies bound to heat up in the playoffs. I say get Arod to make sure you get to the playoffs then let DLee, Soriano, and Rameriz do the rest once they get there. I can't believe all 4 of those guys are going to keep sucking in the playoffs given enough opportunities.
