ARod is looking to regain his image

[vlad27]

I hear what you're saying but maybe his faith is more important than baseball to him. I'm OK with that. Now whether the Angels should have even signed him is a whole other issue.

hopefully he realizes that one of the big teachings of his faith is not to steal - if he doesn't try his hardest to earn the money he makes - he's pretty much stealing - I'm not saying that if he doesn't go .300,30,100 that he's stealing but he really should be spending this offseason trying to improve his game. Of course I don't know him personally and I have no idea of his offseason routine - I hope he is working hard Edited January 26, 2015 by vlad27

From arod and bonds to pujols and Hamilton

[Taylor]

I love Bonds. ARod can blow a goat

 

Glen-Rod

He only needs 6 HR's to reach 660 HR's and $6M dollar incentive bonus. Yankees are so lucky!

 

The Yankees are trying to dispute that.   They say those marketing incentives are no longer valid.   Interestingly in the article in the NY Daily News, Arod tried to meet face to face with them to apologize about the PEDs and how he handle it, and they told him to take a hike.

 

They obviously could not play him.   

[ELEVEN]

I think Arod will get most of his ST PAs in B games out of the public eye, and the Yankees DFA him at the end of camp if not sooner.

He would be tie with the great Willie Mays with 660. Yankee are absolutely right about deflated marketing incentives. Although, he would get a lot of press when he ties his record. Should be interesting how this unfolds.?

I don't know why but when I read this title I thought if this image.

@Ken_Rosenthal: #Yankees add on A-Rod: “There was an honest and frank discussion on all of issues… the next step is to play baseball in spring training.’

[MVTrout]

Apparently he apologized for his actions over the past few years.

[Angel_Fan_4_Life]

What's the over/under on how many times A-Roid is going to get plunked by pitchers this year  

[Lou]

Apparently he apologized for his actions over the past few years.

 

yeah, and he showed up with his attorney

 

what a nimrod

[ukyah]

what a nimrod

 

oh c'mon, that's my favorite part of the story.

 

"guys, i'd like to clear the air."

"i object to the use of the word clear."

"but you're my attorney."

"strike that from the record."

Any promise to clear the air would first be subject to approval by the Environmental Protection Agency.

I can see how it could be an issue.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

A - Roid restored his image the day that he stiffed his own lawyers. Nothing says character like screwing the only people who supported you in a public fight.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Exactly. The only way ARod does better than Albert this season is if Albert misses a ton of time with a serious injury.

Yep.

[Stradling]

Haha, I was waiting for that soto.

This was a better one.

[CaliAngel]

Sometimes I put way too much credibility in the words of some of the more frequent posters around here.

 

Then I see stuff like this and wonder why.

[Hollyw00d]

An A-bomb! From A-Rod!

Can we just trade Hamilton for him already, this offense needs help

[Section517]

I'd take ARod's glove over Freese's any day.

ARod's bat > Freese's bat

 

There is no way the Yanks will trade for Hamilton.  With all the booze, blow, and hookers in that town, Josh would either be rehab or dead by the All-Star break.

What's up with the baby powder all over his helmet
