Alex Rodriguez could have a big impact for the Yankees

By: Anthony DiGregorio

During his time with the Yankees Alex Rodriguez has had his ups and downs. The 2009 Playoff run finishing with a World Series win is one of the greatest postseasons in recent years. Getting suspended a full year for steroids, and lying about it was definitely a low point. But Alex Rodriguez getting suspended last year could be the best thing that has happened to him and could really help him moving forward in his career.
If A-Rod comes back 100% healthy not only will he bring fans back to Bronx because that home run swing, but he will also bring some veteran leadership to the Yankees. Alex has been out of baseball for a year now and I think this suspension might have humbled him. He spent a lot of his time with his daughters and family maybe now he's not playing for just himself. We can only hope he realized what life after baseball is going to be like if he doesn't repair his image as best as he can. If he just concentrates on baseball, his team and his family Rodriguez should have a successful season. I think all he wants to do now is play the game he has loved forever and play it for the New York Yankees. Hopefully this gave him a new outlook on his career.

Personally I have always liked A-Rod steroids and all. The MLB has been filled with steroids and I still think there are more steroids in Baseball than any other sports. I would say that probably 85% [Yankees] fans will be rooting for A-Rod this year just like they always did. The other 15% of Yankees fans are the minorities that hate him because he's a cheater, or he's just not a good person and that he's not Derek Jeter. I'm a huge Jeter fan, I am 23 years old born in 1991 All I ever known Is Derek Jeter. Jeter is a once in lifetime type player and person. He did everything the way it was supposed to be done on and off the field. A-Rod has done the opposite and people hate him for that.

In my opinion, A-Rod comes back this year and hits .270-.280, with 20-25 home runs and 70-80 RBIs. With no problems, or issues more steroid use, the fans will be wearing his jersey and cheering his name like always, because one thing trumps all with the New York Yankees and that's winning!!

    I totally agree with your post. Alex will come back and will do it right. He has to anyway.

Trade Market the Perfect Storm for Yankees to Acquire Starter

 UPDATE D 11/18/15 We’ve all heard it: The Yankees aren’t likely to be big spenders this offseason. Hearing this makes me chuckle as the Yankees have the dollars to field a $500 million pay roll if they wanted to, but their dedication to winning just hasn’t been there since the passing of good ole’ George. Sure little rumors have serviced here or there about them maybe pursuing Zach Greinke who has recently opted out of his contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but that move reeks of the move CC Sabathia pulled in opting out of his contract with the Yankees a few years back to simply restructure his contract and make a better payday.   However, instances like CC Sabathia and Masahiro Tanaka are why I believe the Yankees aren’t going to shell out big money and a long term contract for a big name starter this year. There are simply too many factors that could explode in the Pinstripes’ face when giving a long contract to a starter as evidenced by Sabathia’s fall from g...

Pride, Passion and Pinstripes: The greatest Yankees to ever touch the field

No team in baseball history has a story quite like the Yankees. 27 times they’ve found baseball Nirvana which is 16 more than the next closest team (Cardinals). 40 times have the Yankees won the American League, and that is also a major league record. The franchise won four straight championships from 1936-1939 and five straight from 1949-1953, a task no other team has ever accomplished. With all this sustained success, the team has seen some of the greatest players in league history proudly call the Bronx home. Together the Yankees could field multiple All-Star teams with their collective legends, but in this article, I’m going to try and put together a team of legends that I think would be absolutely unbeatable.   Photo Credit: Creative Commons
