usually for spoof articles World a better place 6 April 2010 Alex has made the world a better place to live with all his life acheivements 173 3 138 41 You need to provide a please change X to Y level of deatil when using the editsemiprotected template Thanks Criticism Section Not Clutch This section is basically about how Arod is not considered to be clutch The section is outdated and irrelevant due to his performance in the 2009 playoffs No one debates whether or not he is clutch anymore This entire section should be deleted Does anyone disagree talk contribs I m thinking about this Some of it could be kept if put in a historical perspective But it is clearly over the top as it is I just reread this section and it s completely outdated I still think it should be removed in it s entirety Some of it needs to be kept Let s discuss what should stay and what should go I m totally okay with reducing the size of it but it needs to be mentioned I made some dramatic changes to the section trying to shorten it and update it Also I ve tried to reorganize the section as it had obviously grown organically over a long period My efforts are by no means stellar and I suggest people look at the section with new eyes to see how to further improve it It is at the least a good start Thank you I ll take a closer look at it later Nice updates The section seems relevant again I made some minor copyedits to the section I think the section ought to stay included it s part of Arod s historical record that he s come under fire for being un clutch ludicrous as those criticisms may have been I m also going to remove the tag suggesting integrating the section elsewhere the section hardly gives undue weight to the controversy which extended over a period of several years and occupied who knows how many back pages in the sports press bomb Range Factor The range factor claims currently tagged as as citation needed can be verified on ESPN s page and probably elsewhere The claims as stated are accurate and verifiable I d add the cite but on second thought I question whether it s really a useful thing to state It makes it sound like that s the final word on his defense which it surely isn t Range factor isn t the only defensive stat and A Rod does not rank last on many of the others To cite it exclusively feels like you re trying to push a point of view criticizing him defensively Also even on range factor in 2004 and 2005 he was tied for last not alone Youngest to hit 600 This stat is misleading while he may be the youngest to achieve this he took an above average time to do so He played 183 more games than Babe Ruth Because Rodriguez started playing baseball at a much earlier age than many of the greats should be noted He is a good player but statements concerning his age should be taken out Games played Seasons are a better barometer of talent than age Preceding unsigned comment added by 170 123 4 230
