"Alex Rodriguez is making progress in rehab after hip surgery and within two weeks could move his workouts from Colorado to the Yankees' spring training complex. GM Brian Cashman said Tuesday a firm date for the switch to Tampa, Fla., is not set. But he said the latest it would be is April 13 (Sportsline)."
Right now the projection is that A-Rod will return May 15th. Once he is back in Florida participating in baseball activities and appearing in extended spring training games, it might be only a couple of weeks before he is ready to be activated. The worry is that he may still need another surgery after this year, but will he last that long. The hip injury (which is why I am worried about Lowell) can be very hard to come back from. It will be really interesting to see if A-Rod, who will have to deal with a media storm via steroids, will be able to handle the pressure, and get back physically. He never did well dealing with the pressure of the playoffs, so maybe this is going to be the beginning of the end for his dominance.
We shall see.....
