While the process of divorce is hard on both man, woman and child alike, there are certain circumstances to which the whole situation isn’t all that bad.

Take Cynthia Rodriguez for example, the soon to be ex-wife of MLB superstar Alex Rodriguez. She filed for divorce today in Miami, seeking primary custody of the kids as well as alimony. Now considering that A-Rod will be making well over $20 million a year for the next decade or so, I would say that Cynthia has played the cards just right on her wife-cheating, money-grubbing husband.

The question above is a good one. On this hand, you have Barry Zito; a season into a seven year, $126 million contract, Zito has established himself as one of baseball’s bottom of the barrel starting pitchers. On the other, you’ve got Mike Hampton; at the tail end of receiving millions upon millions of dollars for 100+ missed starts over the past seven seasons. ESPN analyst Jayson Stark has a nice contrast and comparison here.
