Getting Healthy

A-Rod speaks on his quad problem:

“I had a quad injury like this my senior year in high school, and it lingered on for a couple of months,” Rodriguez said. “It’s important to get it right. I think (Derek) Jeter took the right approach where he took a little bit more time. That’s probably what I need, too.”

Don’t let A-Rod scare you here. He’s not a high school kid anymore and he plays for the NY Yankees (who have specialists in abundance), so I wouldn’t expect him to be out for an entire month. He’ll likely be out for the week, which is certainly necessary. However, in my mind (as a fan), it would have been cool to see him play against Detroit. Miguel Cabrera, who now plays first base for the Tigers, was rumored to be A-Rod’s successor if A-Rod failed to resign with the Yanks during the offseason.
