... surmises this year’s Baseball Prospectus’ account of the 2009 NY Mets. The left side of the Mets infield, you know, the two players who were vilified as the ‘core’ of the choke artists, are now considered the best in the game. To quote, “The left side of the Mets infield, with Jose Reyes and David Wright, is quite easily the best in baseball.” Hmmm, not Alex Rodriguez and ...

Enough with A-Rod!

... I really don’t know what to think anymore when it comes to Alex Rodriguez. Even when he is thousands of miles away from the team, Rodriguez still manages to cause eyes to roll and heads to ache. In this latest episode, Rodriguez has been accused by one of ex-New York governor Elliot Spitzer’s former madams as ...

The Yankee 3B Conundrum
Published 3/9/2009 by Mister Delaware at Sportsfrog.com
The decision by Alex Rodriguez and the Yankees to pursue surgery now rather than hope he can play through his hip injury is absolutely the right call. While the best case scenario would have been 150+ games of Rodriguez–level numbers, there was too great a chance he would have either ...

Yanks Getting Figgy?
Published 3/6/2009 by Nolan Tanana at Three Days of Cryin'
... No, they’re not.  But The Sporting News today suggests that Chone Figgins is a possible “trade target” for the Yankees if Alex Rodriguez does, indeed, undergo surgery. We’re curious, are players on the DL shielded from testing?  We honestly don’ t know the answer.  It’s not covered in the official MLB testing policy (and we’re simply too stupid to reliably fumble through this). What is covered in the policy is that MLB reserves the right to order a “probable ...

Fun With A-Roid Conspiracy Theories
Published 3/6/2009 by TheBigLead at The Big Lead
... But something still strikes us as odd - A-Rod opened the preseason with a homer and he’s been impressive through four games. He’s been a paragon of health for virtually his entire career. Then he meets with MLB officials, and the pain is suddenly ratcheted up and next thing you know, he’s going to disappear from the media’s glare for about two months. The timing just feels sort of … convenient. ...

Alex Rodriguez was "gushing" about Jose Reyes after the Dominican Republic's victory over the Floria Marlins yesterday according to The New York Times. Because of some heads up plays Reyes made on the basepaths, Rodriguez complimented the Mets shortstop (which of course he had a PR rep clean up so as not to insult "the captain"): “I wish he was leading off on our team or playing on our team. That’s fun to watch.” We know he is fun to watch. Hell everyone knows that Alex, he's ...

Alex Rodriguez destined to have a great season. If he does..will Yankees fans forgive him?

... His regular season numbers should be as good as it gets. Starting in 2003, every other year since then has been an MVP season. (won MVP in ‘03,’05,’07) Last year was a “down year”  for him, so that means he should win the MVP  again in ‘09. Why should we think any different? Whether it’s good news or bad news..Alex always seems to shine during the season. The question this year is if he can do it in October. We will have to wait and see on that. ...

It listed at Alex Rodriguez’s isolated power (SLG-AVG) in Texas and New York, showing a much larger number with the former, during the time that he admitted to using steroids. Though it was not explicitly stated, I guess viewers were supposed to infer that this was evidence of A-Rod’s steroid use; or, at least, I can see how someone might interpret these numbers as such. ...

As a handy reference, we thought we'd provide the names of a handful of Hall of Famers who have a worse career OBP than McGwire's .3942 (which is good enough for 77th on the all time list). Rod Carew+* .3930 Cap Anson+ .3926 Joe Morgan+* .3921 Honus Wagner+ .3910 Alex Rodriguez (32).3891 (not and HoFer, we realize, but it makes a point, don't it?) ...

Rodriguez hit 159 home runs during those three seasons with the Rangers -- including 57 in 2002 -- and he was named the American League Most Valuable Player in '03. He was traded to the Yankees following that season. In 2003, there were no penalties for a positive result. "It was such a loosey-goosey era," the 33-year-old Rodriguez said.
