Hughes hows his potential
Pinstripe Alley —
... - Ian O'Connor thinks Arod won't be a Yankee for the duration of his 10-year contract. He probably will though, but I'd be pleasantly surprised if he did get traded at some point. I'll get into this topic in the off-season - we have months to discuss and dissect every problem, solution, signing, trade, player, team and moment. ...
Baseball Today: Thursday, September 25
Projo Sox Blog —
... AND NOW I TELL YOU . . . Ian O'Connor, who predicted Alex Rodriguez would become a Yankee in 2003 before anyone had put the two together, thinks A-Rod will be out of New York before too much longer.

Alex Rodriguez will be a member of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim by the start of the 2011 season.

A-Rod carries too much baggage to the plate in critical, must-hit situations, and the process is wearing out a fan base still hopelessly in love with the Jeter-led team that built a ...
An uneasy marriage
River Avenue Blues —
... In a typical fact-less anti-A-Rod column, Fox Sports’ Ian O’Connor writes about the uneasy marriage between the Yankees and their expensive third baseman. O’Connor doesn’t think that A-Rod will make it through his contract as a Yankee and anticipates the team’s trading him within five years. My only questions are thus: Why would the Yankees ever trade A-Rod to a team that would be in a position to compete against them? How would the Yanks replace A-Rod’s bat? A-Rod might not be the most beloved Yankee ever, but the two of them can’t ...
