"And the survey, Stark notes, took place just before A-Rod made his return and was in the news all the time due to the Biogenesis stuff."

Crazy babe Ruth still getting votes

Too many fans are ill-informed. 

Pay Rod stopped being a good player years ago.

A Roid is the face of MLB this year with all the stuff going on.

This poll must've taken place at a grocery store near a retirement community.

He might be a great "player", but I don't care what he does in his personal life.

A-Rod has a 147 wRC+ and was average last year.

 

He's not exactly bad.

I disagree. A-Rod is still a well above average all around 3rd baseman in this league.

Pay-Rod is still solid compare to most other 3B, but there aren't a lot of good ones and he hasn't sniffed a +.850 OPS since 2009.

That's not face of baseball material.

ogando could be the bump of baseball
