As a Red Sox fan, I'm torn.

I guess the better he does, the worse as an organization the Yankees look.

Nope, I drafted him in the 22nd round..........Something like that...........Nobody wanted him so I was like I"ll draft him.....Barry Bonds was a Hall of Famer before he was supposed to be "juiced-up" so I didn't expect A-Rod to completely forget how to play baseball and that late of a round it is worth a chance.......Older age and possible injuries would be the main concern.....PEDs make you better, but you still gotta know how to hit a baseball along with hand-eye coordination......I actually feel sorry for all the guys that took PEDS in the minors and never made it (must be like damn, I even stink on PEDs)

I call this the Patriots effect. Gets caught cheating and comes back better than ever. Hope Arod keeps it up and has a stellar season.

He is more likeable than Jeter. I will never understand what people have against steroid use. It is beneficial to these guys

The way Hank and Hal have treated him is deplorable. The fact that he has bonuses in his contract for milestone home runs is funny as hell.

It is on the sport to clean that up. Asking players to legislate themselves when hundreds of millions of dollars is on the line is absurd.

A-Rod, Bonds and Clemens were considered a-holes before the roid stuff though so that is why people dislike them more.

Well the guy is still a pretty good player. This time around he is off the roids and playing with a chip on his shoulder which he'll be more focused and perform better. He'll probably realize the roids didn't actually help much. And....America in general is very forgiving and loves a comeback kid.
