When he signed, I remember being happy that he'll play third, but I just didn't think it was what we needed at the time. I thought we lost the production of Soriano for the production of A-rod, but how many wins would that superior bat land us, 2-3?? honestly, after giambi, kevin brown and all that ilk, i didn’t know what to make of fa signings.

Which is GREAT, I just don't think the "new, relaxed approach" will make a difference. I predict Tex for MVP. To be totally honest, I predict an average A-Rod year.

In fact he could compete with Pujols next year if his hip is fully healthy. He'll be playing a full, healthy season, in Yankee Stadium, with this new relaxed approach? That could be a big year for him. True. In fact he could compete with Pujols next year if his hip is fully healthy.

I loved me some Alfonso, but come on, he netted us Alex Freaking Rodriguez.
