Fading Pinstripes

As the Yankees head to below .500 territory, I feel much more hopeful each time Raul Ibanez or Eric Chavez comes to bat than when A-Rod does.  I feel as if something other than hitting into a double play might happen.

Raul Ibanez is making $1.1 million this year.

Eric Chavez is making $900,000 this year.

A-Rod is making $29 million this year.

What’s wrong with this picture?
