No I in Arod... but there should be.

There isn't much I could say about Arod and Boras choosing Game 4 of the World Series as the day to declare that Arod was opting out of his record setting contract to pursue free-agency that Peter Gammons and Buster Olney haven't already said, so here is a link to Buster's story.

You can't blame Arod for leaving, it seemed he was never going to truly win over Yankees fans because it appeared he was never going to perform well in October, at least not while wearing pinstripes. What you can blame Arod for is the way he opted out. For a player who has been downright awful in post-season play he certainly has a high estimation of his own worth. Apparently Boras sees there must be some team out there who feels Arod is worth $30 million a year. I can't say I agree.
