"Booting Rodriguez before he's been given a chance to show what he can do with a roster of his guys makes this year in vain."
Just wanted to point out that this statement is not necessarily consistent with the concept of sunk cost. The basic idea behind sunk cost is that you should make the best possible decision that you can today regardless of what has already happened. That is to say, the investment in RRod and his system for the past year is irrelevant. The only relevant thing is how you think the team will perform next year under RRod vs. another option.
For what it's worth, I completely agree with Brian's premise and think that it would be shortsighted to fire RRod after one year.
