The Yanks are in for a rough go for a season or two. A-Rod isn’t a player that is easily replaced. Without Clemens, A-Rod, Torre, Mattingly, and possibly Rivera, Posada and Pettitte ... it could be a rough year.

Posada doesn’t like Girardi. No proof just some scuttlebutt I heard. If so the Yankees will have to up their offer to keep him.

I'm with you on those last three, but A-Rod was a major league bust. Every time the spotlight shone, he wilted.

He has a spectacular regular season this year, but every time he made the back of the papers (caught with a blonde exiting a Toronro strip club, his wife's profane t-shirt), he went into a slump. Not to mention his habitual problems in the postseason.

What good does he do for a team, disappearing when they need him most?
