Could Alex Rodriguez miss the season?

The New York Yankees are considering it a possibility.

“Best case scenario, yeah he should be back. Worst case scenario, he won’t be back, or there might be something in between,” Yankees GM Brian Cashman was quoted in the Associated Press.

I used to cheer for Rodriguez to break Barry Bonds’ home-run record.

Now, I’m rooting for A-Rod to simply go away.

If you think Cashmas is being over-the-top with his comments, consider this: The Yankees signed Kevin Youkilis to play third base. They wouldn’t have gone after such a big name if they didn’t think there was a need.
