Rodriquez has always been better defensivly then Jeter. Who has more gold gloves? Yeah.

Personally, I think this deal sucks. Baseball really really needs a salary cap. Players only go to places for the money. Why else would Pudge sign with the Tigers?

But it will be okay when the Yankees with there 185million dollar payroll don't make it to the World Series, and some other team like the Royals do.
