He gave some thought to his legacy before the recent Hall of Fame votes. But now that Clemens and Bonds did not get voted into the Hall he has to know that he will not get in either. So he has nothing to lose if he fights on until the last dog dies.
He might get a short stay of execution and start the season while it is working it's way through the legal system. Who knows? The way the law works he might play the whole season. That's not what the Yankees want. They would be happy saving the money and making other plans. In fact they might pay off the last three years of his contract and tell him to take a walk.
The way I see it is that he will appeal and play most if not all of the season. Then lose and be suspended for next season. If as expected Jeter retires then the Yankees need to go back to the drawing board. They really only wanted to keep A-Rod around to go after the all time home run record which I don't think he will get now. So they might as well pay him off and totally retool.

Keep the tool until they can retool.
I think one year is fair.
I think the Yanks should be liable for his whole salary. They're the dumbasses that signed him.
So the Yanks get to bank that money?
Wow, did I get this wrong. I thought suspended meant he's out for the whole 2014 season. This is totally confusing. He's suspended but he can play while contesting the suspension?
It is the intersection of baseball rules and the court system of some jurisdiction.
We would all be better served if the A-blank just went away, but with the amount of money that is in play, that's not going to happen.
Problems of the .00001%.
Yeah, I went there.
