Is A-Rod really worth $350mil?

So apparently A-Rod's asking price starts at $350M.

There is no question that A-Rod is the best player in the game right now, and perhaps he deserves the best pay in MLB. But I think that's just too much dough to commit to a player (probably $35M per year?). Heck he'd surpass a couple of teams' payroll (Marlins-$30M, Devil Rays-$24) by himself! And remember Lew Wolff & Co only paid $175M to buy the A's franchise.

Certainly there'll be a big-market team that could (and will) splurge on A-Rod. But is he really worth every penny of the gazillions he is asking?
