I believe that member is a total dumbass because every at-bat should mean something. going 1-4 and having a game-winning home run in the 9th inning doesn't make you a better player than someone who goes 3-4 and strikes out in the 9th inning.
A-rod has come through at some moments (recent ones being the 2004 ALDS, the pennant-race in all of September last season), and his failures (2004 ALCS, 2005 ALDS)
let alone taking in account the physical talent of A-rod, who's a 5-tool player and the best all-around player in baseball
