Combo slump and getting married. I think we've been so spoiled with Nomar and how really good he really is that people in general couldn't handle him being off. People forget how he has sometimes single handedly carried this team. Remember, he has a career batting average of 323. 323 can lead the league in a tough year and thats his career average. Not bad. Also consider he lead team in runs and RBI this year and had the lowest strike out average of the guys that got 600 or so hits.
ARod was .298 with 118 RBIs. for more than TWICE the money. Is 13 RBIs worth 13 million? No Friekin Way. Nomar is still one of the top 3 SS in the game and he had a lousy slump. If you need to cough up Nomar for Arod then its only to get rid of Manny. An overpaid Manny on the same team as Nomar and a quality 12mil pitcher is a better team than just Arod
