Hey, the man’s got a point

All I could do while reading this article was begin to open my mouth in objection and then stop, realizing that Caple’s entirely right:

Baseball is the most individual of sports, and all that really matters is what a guy does on the field. And what A-Rod has done is average 124 runs scored, 45 home runs and 128 RBIs per season the past 10 years…. It’s wonderful if every teammate is like Mike Lowell or Jason Varitek, but it’s hardly necessary as long as a player produces. For crying out loud, Curt Schilling’s ego is so monstrous it’s an official stop on the Boston duck boat tour, while Manny has repeatedly asked to be traded. Talent matters, not personality.
