What To Do With A-Rod?
He has never struggled this much with the Yankees, and he is one of the main culprits in the Yankees' offensive struggles. This team, as presently constructed, cannot compete for a championship without A-Rod producing in my opinion. Obviously there isn't much they can do, but I think it might help if they switched A-Rod and Teixeira.

Re: What To Do With A-Rod?
Far too soon to give up on the guy but I would absolutely switch him and Teixeira.

Right, again, I was not giving up on him at all haha. That would be crazy. And I also said there isn't much you can do with him. However, switching them is the one of the few things I can think of. The Yankees need A-Rod to produce if they want to succeed over the course of the entire season, and then into the playoffs (if they make them).

Re: What To Do With A-Rod?
he's fine. Remember, he lost his spring training and he always starts slowly.
