After it was leaked to the media that he was supposed to have gone in in January, Yankees 3B Alex Rodriguez still has no time set for his hip surgery. If it is procrastinated long enough, Rodriguez may be out for the entire season. So, news like this makes you think: What would this team be like for a whole year without A-Rod? Well, if he was planning on playing the same way he did in the Postseason last year, I think everybody and their dog would choose to postpone his surgery until the day his contract expires. However, having a guy like Alex Rodriguez, one of the greatest hitters of the last decade or so, in your starting lineup puts confidence into the lineup from top to bottom. Even though there are some who would enjoy having Rodriguez on the active 25-man, they signed former Red Sox corner man Kevin Youkilis to take his place as the Opening Day starting Third Baseman. Overall, I think the Yanks will be no worse than they were already were going to be in the upcoming season without Alex Rodriguez.
