I think he has 4 years left on his contract. If he gets suspended through 2014, he still has 3 years left and the Yankees will be on the hook for it. That's a lot of money for an over the hill player who hasn't played in 2 years and who's skills were diminishing even before the injuries and suspension.

That's what they get for signing a guy for ten years/250 million.....

Notice that all the other guys on that list are either from the Dominican Republic or Nicaragua or Venezuela. These are just the guys who were unlucky enough to be with the wrong lab at the wrong time.

While I'm no fan of ARod, trying to make him the fall-guy and example for a problem that has been so widespread is not sufficient for what Seleg needs to do to clean baseball.
