It’s a fair question, and one that has been asked often over the past couple weeks as fans have waited for the slugger to achieve something that has only been done 6 times before — 600 round trippers. Given A-Rod’s admittance to using PEDs in the past, should this monumental mark be celebrated?

Has there ever been a baseball player where “what-ifs” so outweigh the reality? What happened to Ken Griffey Jr. is what happens to many athletes late in their career—they become a shell of their former self. It’s sad and it becomes painful to watch great players fade like this because deep down you’re refusing to accept their new normal. Griffey is perhaps the emperor of that category for me.

Step aside, Chris Coste, looks like we have another 33-year old rookie on the lookout. Well, close to a rookie, anyhow, considering he does have 166 Major League at bats. Regardless, Alex Rodriguez (you may have heard of him) has left a monumental void at third base for the New York Yankees. Although all signs point to the Yankees eventually pulling out the wallet and signing a utility player with more MLB service, Cody Ransom will have a chance to prove himself.

Unless you just awoke from a five moth coma, you already know that the Yankees spent roughly a quarter billion dollars this offseason, collecting free agent prizes like Digger Phelps collects matching tie and highlighter sets. Along with Mark Teixeira, they bargained for two pitchers who are so good they don’t even need first names, just initials. But even with these All Star acquisitions, the Yankees may not even be the best team in their state, let alone their division.
