A-Rod heading to Tampa on Monday

By Benjamin Kabak

Good news for the Yanks courtesy of Bryan Hoch: Alex Rodriguez will be arriving at the Yanks’ facility in Tampa on Monday to ramp up baseball activities. A-Rod underwent surgery on March 9 to temporarily repair a torn labrum in his right hip, and in a text message exchange with Joe Girardi yesterday, A-Rod said he was feeling good. In fact, he was spied riding a stationary bike while watching the game yesterday. The Yankees, meanwhile, are holding true to their May 15 expected return date for A-Rod, but the whispers of a late April or early May return continue to grow louder. That day can’t come soon enough.

    I’m betting that he makes his return in that 2 game series against Boston at the Stadium May 4-5.

    Main thing is that everything is progressing nicely. A-Rod will really solidify this lineup, and looks like Matsui could have a monster year hitting behind him.

    Can’t wait till he’s back! It’s only been one game, but as in life and in baseball, you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone. He’s the best damn player on the universe! Go Alex!

    Arod cant come back soon enough. He just makes this line up so much more powerful.

    Jeter
    Damon
    Tex
    Arod
    Matsui
    Posada
    Nady
    Cano
    Gardner

    When you have Cano batting 8th, where I think on most teams he would be batting 3rd, thats a pretty solid lineup

    Wait arod was watching the game? I thought he was all about himself?

      No no, you’re confused. A-Rod was the one who was so self-obsessed with baseball that he had the gall to question Cap’n Jeets on why he didn’t order MLB Extra Innings to watch all the baseball games.
