A-rod or Johan

got beat by Cleveland 6 times this year.  HE plays every 5th day and costs lots of prospects and money.

A Rod.

According to ESPN's stats, he was 1-5 against Cleveland.  As they say the devils are in the details.  Lets look atthe numbers against the tribe. It not like they "owned" him. His ERA was 4.38, he always piutched at least 6 Innings, and never gave up more than 4 Earned Runs. In 4 of the 5 games he lost, the scores were 4-3, 5-2, 2-0, and 5-3. Hardly getting blown up by today's standards.  Besides, we only play the tribe 6 or 9 times a year.
With the revolving door in the AL Central, you never know who you are going to play come October.  What I want to know is how did he do against the A's (1-1, 2.08 ERA), Mariners (1-0, 2.57 ERA), and Rangers (2-0, 0.60 ERA)?
What about Boston you ask? 1-0, 1.08 ERA

Does ESPN have a nightly segment on how Johann did?

"santana, willits and 2 prospects"

try more like weaver, willits and nick adenhart.

worth it for a guy that was pretty mediocre last year? no thanks

a-rod doesnt cost prospects and plays everyday.
