Yanks will be Fine without A-Rod

Okay incase you guys didn’t know we are the New York Yankees. We find a solution we are not weak. So here is my solution for the A-Rod problem. Put Xavier Nady at third he can play it he did a few times in Pittsburgh and with the Mets. Put Swisher in right field, he’s still a good player. Brett Gardner in center, he gives the line-up a good spark. Bat Tex fourth and Swish 3rd. Tex can clean up period. So don’t freak out they have a solution this just happens to be a very good one. Also A-Rod will be back in May so don’t freak out.

Spring Training Report: First Week

First week of spring training running down and this is what we learned…. A-Rod wants to play baseball, well he got his wish.

On Wednesday A-Rod and the Yankees made their Spring Training debut against the Toronto
Blue Jays in Dunedin, Florida. In the top of the first inning Brett Gardner was leading off, and he hits a home run to right field. A-Rod on his second at-bat after drawing a walk on his first, hits a home run to deep left center field. Yankees win 6-1.

On Thursday the Yanks make their Spring home debut against the Tampa Bay Rays and Mark Teixieria is making his debut in the Pinstripes. Phil Hughes got the start. Tex in his first at-bat hits a line drive single to right field, his first hit as a Yankee. A-Rod would ground into a double play to end the inning. Shelley Duncan later in the game hits a 3-Run blast to deep left field to extend the Yankee lead. Yankees win 5-1.

Friday Yankees play the Minnesota Twins in Fort Myers, Florida. Ian Kennedy gets the start for the Yanks he was cruising. In the top of the 2nd inning Justin Leone batting against Scott Baker and he hits a Solo shot. Brett Gardner hit a double and had a stolen base.

Yanks Swoop in on Teixeira

The Yankees are back to being the Yankees. Mark Teixeira has signed a 8 year, $181 Million deal. Tex who spent last season with the Braves and Angels will play first base for the new look Yanks. The Yankees kept a close eye on the situation throughout since it involved the hated Red Sox. Tex brings a bat to back up A-Rod and gives them more of a cahnce to tmake the run for the elusive 27th ring.
