Although it would nearly be a 1/3 of the season. If he misses the next 10 weeks that he could be back by early June. What do the Yanks do about the position with seemingly no depth. How about a Zobrist for Hughes trade. Not enough you say, well maybe they could throw in Kennedy too.

This will be good too as they will probably do something incredibly stupid like deal away a lot of their younger talent for a ~2 month replacement, heard Buster Olney say Garrett Atkins, which would be great because of how much it would take to get him (not that any Steinbrenner would ever pressure Cashman into making a harsh short sighted move)

Either it’s an STD or steroids.

Cameron thinks this will cost Yanks about a 1 win, but he only took Arod out for 1 month.

By Dave’s logic, if Arod is down for 2 months thats about 2 wins less. I don’t know, I feel like it should be more- I think a separate analysis is warranted.

According to a Manhattan-based hip specialist, Alex Rodriguez (hip) will eventually “have to bite the bullet and have the surgery.”
“It’s going to get progressively worse and for the patient, it’s pretty miserable,” said Dr. Robert Buly of the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City. Buly, an admitted Yankees fan, added that A-Rod would soon have trouble pivoting or flexing.

We already know what will happen

Yankees make the playoffs: They built such a wonderful team, they still win without A-Rod
Yankees miss playoffs: The division would of been theirs if A-Rod didn’t miss any time
