A-Rod Back in Pinstripes

Alex Rodriguez reported to spring training 2 days early. He needs to prove to his team that he is healthy enough to win a spot on the 25-man roster. The over/under on whether A-Rod is a Yankee by the end of spring training is about 50/50. Chase Headley was signed to a multi-year deal to be their everyday 3B. If anything, A-Rod has to prove he can still hit major league pitching to become the Yankees everyday DH. His banged up, PED riddled body has not played a game in over a year & a half. The Yankees organization doesn't want him there. The players may say all the right things, but they don't want him there. And the fans don't want him there. You can bet that all eyes will be on every move, especially if he pulls up lame running out a hit or, more importantly, if he cannot make contact. The Yankees will look for any loophole to sideline him. How do you come back from being a habitual liar? How do you try & play for a team & with players that you sued? A-Rod needs to hang it up. It's not going to be a pretty ending to a once promising career.
