132 at bats. A fair sample.

The numbers are far different from his regular season numbers. There goes your "clutch means nothing" statement.

You think Reggie Jackson was called Mr October because he was the same player as in the regular season? Kirk Gibson?

Big players come up in big spots. There is such a thing as clutch.

Those numbers are obviously skewed by the last 2 series. If you can't see that you're blind.

Well, you see Mike, that is kinda the thing about being clutch in the postseason. Those last 2 series, they are the last 2 years.

When you are not clutch in the playoffs, and your teamn counts on you, your team often goes home.

It is part of the reason the Yankees pay him that money.

The small sample size of the playoffs makes those kinds of series a complete crapshoot. The better team loses all the time.

ARod has actually been a better hitter than Jeter in League Championship series.....Jeter while a very good player was part of the 96-00 Yanks thus gets over hyped as a post season player.

Jeter has had 24 to ARod's 9 post season series in order for his numbers to reach there "norm".....ie Jeter does nothing different in the post season but McCarver and Buck say "he rises above" enough times so it must be so.

Anyone who believes that ARod with enough play-off series will not end up with good to great numbers is foolish. See Bonds 02 post season as a example that the best sooner or later completely dominate in the post season just as during the regular season.

Nothing against Jete but ARod gets a bad wrap for the entire Yankee team sucking the past two post seasons.

You have to take the numbers as a whole, rather than looking at 1 or 3 good series.

Bottom line-ARod shokes in th eplayoffs, until proven otherwise,

Disagree. The last 2 post seasons have been awful but too many forget the Yanks never get out of the Twins series in 04 if not for Alex. He'll be fine as he's hit over .300 in 4 of 7 post season series not counting 2 ab's as a rookie in 05. He was the perfect goat for the Yanks failure the last two years.....I wouldn't bet against him.

"Post season" is the last half hearted stigma that can be hung over ARod who is on course for his 2nd MVP in 3 "NY" seasons....I don't think for a minute that you believe ARod can't and won't dominate in the post season.

130 AB's isn't a big enough sample size to take the numbers as a whole. Especially when he has the last 2 years dragging him down.

Well, that is what the post season is all about.It is not about sample size.It is about performing when the chips are down.

ARod has not done that. To say he has, would be blind optimism.
