 Rantings & Ramblings » Why do teams get better when A-Rod leaves?
I don’t claim to be an expert at math, but it seems to me that if you pay $9 million for two players instead of $4.5 million for one player, your team may improve, but it won’t have nearly as much to do with the guy who left as with the guys who came in.
There were 13 players not named A-Rod who played for the 2000 Mariners and not for the 2001 Mariners; those included two former All-Stars (Rickey Henderson and Jose Mesa), one future All-Star (Raul Ibanez), and a bunch of role players.
There were 10 players besides Boone and Ichiro who were new to the M’s in 2001; again, there were two former All-Stars (Norm Charlton and Jeff Nelson), and the rest were nobodies.

The Yankees let setup reliever Jeff Nelson go after the 2000 season over (by Yankee standards) a trifling amount of money, believing they could get someone else to do what he did.

What it means is that the Yankees may be realizing once again there are players who have what it takes to come through in October, and there are players who don't--and that they have not enough of the former, too many of the latter.
