A-Rod's Out, A-Rod's In, WTF?

The A-Rod story is starting to look like the Baby Kobe Bryant drama. The latest is that A-Rod wants to play for the Yankees next year. He seems to flip flop on everything. I suspect that it's partly because he's listening too much to his agent, Scott Boras. One report said that the Yankees would only deal with him if he left Boras out of it. This was then denied by Steinbrenner. I don't think they should deal with the agent at all... he messed this whole thing up. At this point, I also don't feel they should take A-Rod back. Besides the principle, there's the price to think about. For A-Rod's salary, the Yankees could go out and get 2 15+ game winning pitchers. That's much more valuable than any position player even if it's the greatest of all time. 2 ace pitchers can put together 30-40 wins. A superstar batter can't match that in one season. I don't care how good he is.
