Alex "A-Roid" Rodriguez has to be one of the dumbest athletes in modern sports. He's getting paid $33 million per year, as part of a 52-year contract, so he's set for life. Yet he resorts to using steroids. Why? He clearly has it all. He's already on pace to break Bonds' home-run "record." Besides that, he's known as the best offensive hitter in the game, when healthy. The staff and myself racked our brains over why the slugger feels he needed the extra edge. Having been stumped, we came up with 10 reasons why he doesn't need steroids, in hopes of convincing the vain ballplayer to lay off the juice.

I even found myself admitting that I don't hate Derek Jeter - it would be so much easier if I did - and allowing myself to agree that he's a fairly classy individual. (Don't worry, I still think he has a smug Yankee face and root against him any chance I get - I just don't think I can hate him).

've heard of (IE legit Major Leaguers) produced and not "purchased" by the Yankees - Derek Jeter, Andy Pettite (who did leave town for awhile, by the way), Robinson Cano.

The answer is that Manny Ramirez is not your father's baseball superstar. Manny isn't Derek Jeter. He isn't the responsible team captain who (thank (the) God(s)! ) leads by example or sets the tone for the entire club. It's hard to tell if he's dedicated to winning, or if he's a selfless player and a good teammate. And it's true, he isn't paying attention out there in left field, and no, he doesn't even have his glove on half the time when the pitch is delivered to home plate. He isn't Ken Griffey or Torii Hunter in the outfield, and he sure as hell isn't Ricky Henderson on the bases. Manny is moody, and until this year, was not the guy in the clubhouse who'd gladly talk to the media.
