A-Rod in the News Again

Just when we thought the beginning of spring training was going to be a good situation, A-Rod is the headliner AGAIN.  Rodriguez has a torn labrum in his right hip along with a cyst.  Just so we are clear this injury has NOTHING to do with his steroid admission last month.  While A-Rod is a major part of this team, Joe Girardi will have to begin to prepare for the beginning of the upcoming season without A-Rod.  Also, Rodriguez will not be able to play for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic.  The New York Yankees are a very deep team and I think they could be ok and they are going to take a conservative approach to this injury.  Surgery is still in the picture but we will have to wait and see what doctors say.  The biggest key for the Yankees I believe will be playing as a UNIT, not individuals.  Stay with Yankeescast for new details on A-Rod’s injury and the New York Yankees.
