We can't do anything but have faith in him. He'll get paid from us no matter what, it's just a matter of will he produce. Let's just hope he does.

Let just hope for the best for him. There is no way anybody will take that contract and I don't see the yanks paying most of it playing for another team.
I will say this. I will alway appreciate what Arod did in the 09 series and playoffs. He really did step it up. Arod also took alot of crap from everybody even though some of the stuff he deserved, But if it was somebody else they wouldn't have gotten as much.
That is one of the most uninformed statements about Arod i have ever read. Arod works harder to be is the best baseball shape of just about any player i've ever heard of. His winter workout programs are legendary plus he has some of the young players come down to Florida to workout with him. He's taken guys like Cano, Nunez and Montero under his wing to help them improve in the past. This is the same guy that brings his own special meals to high class restaurants in the off season so he doesn't break his diet. Their are alot of things u could call Arod out for but his work ethic and conditioning aren't one of them
the players union would never except that, the only ways to get rid of Arod is either buyout his contract or trade him to another team and pay 95% of his contract both would count against the payroll. This isn't like the NFL very dollar of a players contract is guaranteed, if it wasn't think about how many other teams would just cut players like Zito even though he was good at times last yr, Wells Howard and a ton of others
agreed, missing him for the 1st part of the season sucks but it may be a blessing in disguise. He needs to be the FT DH and maybe now this forces the Yanks to find a different 3rd base solution. I'm for moving Robby to 3rd and letting Adams and Joesph battle it out in ST for 2nd base
thanks u
the players association would never allow an opt out clause in a contract for anything. Plus when it was confirmed Alex juiced it wasn't against the MLB rules. At that time more players were juicing than those that weren't

Keppinger is still on the top of my list at the moment. He would be a good fit for the lineup considering his high contact rate and low strikeout rate.

Arod is done. Won't step on the field again as a player for the Yankees. Forced into retirement and we get very lucky.
Well, I'm already going to play RF for the min, so someone else is gonna have to step up and play 3rd
Man both hips are now wrecked, I see the same situation that happened with Alan Houston. ...early retirement due the injury
Europe get READY, THE CHAMPS ARE HERE!
New York Jets..New York Knicks..New York Yankees..Barcelona!!
with as much money as Arod is due he'd rather sit the bench and collect the paycheck rather than retire
I dont get why people think this. He is a very proud individual who in all likelihood wont just sit on the bench and "collect a paycheck". You dont go down as one of the best every by pulling moves like that.
Not saying it's impossible but knowing what we know, highly unlikely. He cares too much about what people think to get labeled as a guy who stuck around for the money when clearly he has enough for several lifetimes.
Lets hope his surgery goes ok for his life but not well enough to be a player.
Then maybe he will go home to Miami and just bang hot chicks.
Leo's Thought Of The Day
Luckily, most of his contract is insured. I honestly think A-Rod will retire in the near future (not necessarily this year). He's an image conscious and ego-driven player and if he becomes a scrub due to his deteriorating body, he will retire. I don't think he can fathom being anything but (at the very least) an every day player.
Maybe that's just wishful thinking. His contract is a huge burden on the payroll and the dollar amounts don't equate to the on-field production that he is likely to provide in the next few years.
