10/250 didn't do that to Texas, incompetence did.

 

And to this day, there is incompetence all over the league. We see it in our very own favorite organization.

 

It was stupid for Texas to spend all that money on ARod. I won't argue with you there. They didn't have the components to compete.

 

There aren't many teams that are in a position to:

 

1. Afford to pay ARod what he's worth.

2. Have the components to surround him with talent for the next several years.

3. The desire to spend that kind of money on a single ballplayer.

 

No, there aren't many. But there are some. I think Anaheim would, could and should do it. I think both LA and SD could do it, but I'm not sure the Dodgers want to and I'm almost certain SD doesn't want to.

 

As for Texas, the $26 million they spent on Chan Ho and Juan Gone were far more damaging to their ability to field a quality team than the $22 they spent on ARod.

Dreifort was the Dodgers. Saving the Cubs in the process.
