Talk about a quandry! Now A-Rod is out for 6-9 weeks with this hip surgery thing. That means about end of April up to mid-May. Plus, that doesn't even take into account not being in game condition. Does all that add up to a high first round pick? This reminds me of the dilema with Pujols only two years ago with his elbow supposedly having problems. Pujols went on to have his typical great season and play the whole year. But, I believe this is even a tougher decision than that. A-Rod will even have to have another surgery at the end of the season. What to do, What to do?? If A-Rod isn't worth a first round pick, then where does a team even take him. More than likely he won't be a bust when he comes back. This is A-Rod! Steroids or not, he is too talented not to produce. But, when other top notch talent is going precious pick by precious pick one team must ask himself, "Is now the time?" On the other hand someone could walk away with a big-time bargain and laugh all the way to the regular season title and quite possibly the league title! I know what I am going to do though about this delicate situation. Do any of you? give me your thoughts on the matter as this is a real fantasy SNAFU!

Having been a previous owner of A-Rod, I have experienced 1st hand the injury bug and effect on his stats. Last season he went through a period of inactivity while dealing with another injury.
ReplyDeleteThat leads me to another consideration. A-Rod is getting older. That's right folks, though he may not be over the hill he is definitely trending downward. Will he ever play another full season? And what about the off field distractions? Last year it was a divorce, this year it is juice. And this in the toughest media market in baseball. How much of that can he take before it begins taking its toll?
I am sure at some point he will return to regular form. May? June? Will he maintain till the end of the season?
I for one have had my turn with him. I am pretty certain that someone will snag him in the 1st or 2nd round. I am equally sure that someone won't be me.
