Arod out 10 weeks with hip surgery

PrintArod will be out until at least may best case scenario. Most likely mid may or perhaps june. I don't believe the Yankees are going to want to run Cody Ransom out to 3rd everyday until arod is back healthy. Think there is any chance they might have interest at Blalock to play 3rd? I personally dont think he is healthy enough to play 3rd, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least if the Yankees have some interest in him. Given Blalock's moderately overpriced contract due to the economy, I don't believe we could get much in return from the Yankees. I would rather us just hold on to Blalock and hope for the best rather than just give him away to Yankees. Do you think the Yankees will have any interest in Blalock?
Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez will have surgery to remove a cyst from his right hip and will be out 10 weeks, Rodriguez's brother told ESPNdeportes.com on Thursday.
Joe Rodriguez, Alex Rodriguez's older brother, told Enrique Rojas of ESPNdeportes.com during a phone interview that immediate surgery was recommended, and that rehabilitation would take about 10 weeks.
A source close to the situation told ESPNdeportes.com that the surgery is scheduled for Monday in Colorado.
There has been no confirmation from the Yankees regarding the scheduled surgery.
It also means that A-Rod will not be able to participate with the Dominican Republic team in the World Baseball Classic.
"It's a big blow for the whole family. Alex is destroyed," Joe Rodriguez told ESPNdeportes.com. "We were all very excited to see him play with the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic.
"But the most important thing is to have a successful surgery so that Alex may continue his career."
Stan Javier, general manager of the Dominican Republic's team at the WBC told ESPNdeportes.com: "I haven't received any information on the results of the medical exams performed on A-Rod."
Rodriguez felt tightness and stiffness in his right hip this spring and was examined by team physician Dr. Chris Ahmad on Saturday, the Yankees said. An MRI exam showed the cyst.
Rodriguez then went to be evaluated Wednesday by Dr. Marc Philippon in Vail, Colo. It has been a rough spring for the All-Star third baseman.
Rodriguez arrived at the Yankees' camp last month in Tampa, Fla., shortly after a report that he had tested positive for steroids in 2003. During a news conference, he admitted he had used performance-enhancing drugs from 2001 to 2003, saying they came from the Dominican and were provided by his cousin.

trade em FOTF
he can be their backup IF at 3 positions!
all we want back is hughes
obv this isnt going to happen, but would you trade FOTF/salty for say hughes/another arm?
Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?
KG: Oh yeah.
Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes.
Don't do it Hicks!
Last thing we need is Hicks to give the Yanks another third baseman along with a “Ranger discount” on his salary.

i do think it was a poor excuse
but not for the reason youve given. it seems irrelevant when he started taking steroids. the point he made (or was trying to make) is that not going to college and instead signing a big contract and being thrust into stardom slowed his maturation. that lack of maturity could have manifested right out of the gate or five years down the road or ten years down the road. it would still have reflected poorly on his decision to skip college.
i do think it was a little disingenuous for him to suggest that a college experience would have grounded him better. who knows, maybe it would have. but im sue there are plenty of baseball players who went to college and turned to steroids later on.

Maybe while he's sitting in a hospital bed
He can make a list of all the people that he’s wronged, and he can use his money to fix everything on the list.
Then they can make a TV show about it. His cousin could be his sidekick. And Madonna could play the part of the trailer trash girlfriend.

This would never happen

Even if it did
Jeter would in-cyst on not taking a day off. Grit.
Maude Lebowski: Lord. You can imagine where it goes from here.
The Dude: He fixes the cable?
Sorry, You're forgetting
Jeter doesn’t get cysts. He’s too immortal for that to happen

Uh oh. This does not bode well for The Dirkatrons.

Why?
Now Jeter can have what he always wanted, to play the entire Yankees left side of the infield by himself. Can you imagine the beauty of a jump throw from foul line to foul line? It just paints a picture
Maude Lebowski: Lord. You can imagine where it goes from here.
The Dude: He fixes the cable?
I never thought about it like that. Less A-Rod means more jump throws. And since "jump throws" = ("wins x baseball"), the Yanks will be just fine.

I want to join a fantasy league
that gives points for injuries. McCarthy’s value would be astronomical.

Blalock wouldn't be far behind him.

Is Miggy 3b eligible in our league?
If so, it might not be too bad.
Nah, but then again I'm pretty obviously the best fantasy player in that league, so I'll be fine.
All my players could die and I’d still probably win by 5 points.

Wait...
you didn’t see that death of player is worth -1,000,000 points in our league? As a matter of fact, it even impacts previous season’s points.

I know it is fun to project but...
I can’t imagine the Yanks giving up anybody decent for a one-month stop-gag at 3b. They’d have no use for Blalock after April. He’d be a very expensive bench player.

General manager Brian Cashman said Thursday that Alex Rodriguez has a torn hip labrum and cyst, but will attempt to play through the injuries rather than undergo surgery.

I just got an email from a buddy
saying that he heard Gammons report that Arod has a torn labrum and will be out until at least August. Any confirmation?
Doctor please. Some more of these.
partially confirmed
torn labrum in the hip, opting for no surgery, out indefinetly.
Doctor please. Some more of these.
Can Cano play 3rd?
