Captain A-Rod

So, the Rangers made A-Rod their captain. I don't get it. They even did it in formal attire. What a joke.

This isn't hockey (where the captain has official duties as the representative to the referees). Seems like an empty gesture, if you ask me.

We're only 23 days away from pitchers and catchers reporting. Sadly, the Rangers off-season is more of a bust than anything else. At least, the Angels and Red Sox made up for that.

Addendum: On Truism, I agree. It's not that A-Rod is paid $25 million. It's that they gave Chan Ho and Juan Gone $13 million each. A-Rod at least was the MVP.
