A-Rod named Best Clutch Hitter

According to MLB.com, "Alex Rodriguez didn't just put up Ruthian numbers in 2007 -- he got in his knocks when they counted. It all added up to A-Rod becoming the inaugural recipient of the Major League Baseball Clutch Performer of the Year, presented by Pepsi. The officially sanctioned award recognizes the player who performed his best when the game was on the line." I know opinions will likely vary greatly, so let's hear it - do you agree with this selection or not?

Re: A-Rod named Best Clutch Hitter

He is great hitter but I will only assume that the award doesn't take into account the post season.

Re: A-Rod named Best Clutch Hitter

I don't know why, but I keep coming back to Matt Holliday and Jimmy Rollins during their team's respective runs at the end of the regular season.

But I'm not talking postseason, I'm talking their late season runs to get into the playoffs.

Re: A-Rod named Best Clutch Hitter

Raise your hand if you want A-Rod up in a big spot over David Ortiz. Simon, put your hand down now!

Cool Re: A-Rod named Best Clutch Hitter

A-Rod is a great clutch hitter to have up - if you're the opposing team. The bigger the spot the worse he does.

He will never shake that image until he actually wins something.
