As tempting as it is to contemplate a lifetime ban for
Alex Rodriguez, that eventuality is not
really in the best interest of the Boston Red Sox. Why? Because a lifetime ban would likely allow
The Bronx Embalmers to recoup the roughly $60 million that would be left on
The Fraudulent One's contract. Armed with an extra $60 million or so, the
Steinbrenner Spawn could effectively re-build
The Evil Ones. If
A-Fraud is suspended for just
this year and
next (balance of 2013 and all of 2014), he'd be eligible to play again in 2015—and guess who he's still under contract to? Even better, if Rodriguez
appeals the suspension, he could be in the Yankee lineup by the end of this week. Ah, schadenfreude!
