Jets Voice of Reason 22,222 #37 Posted March 5, 2009 I know that Tex had played 3rd in college. I wonder if they might move him to third and put Swisher at first? I wouldn't do this, but just throwing it out there. I'd think you'd sooner see Swisher at 3rd. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morrissey 12,813 #38 Posted March 5, 2009 I would consider moving Teixeira to 3B until A-Rod gets back, and have Swisher at 1B. Swisher has no experience at 3B, but Teixeira was drafted as a 3B, and played there in the minors. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My guess is the Yankees will find a short term solution. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChadLover 952 #42 Posted March 5, 2009 Imagine they hadn't signed Tex. That lineup would be dismal and full of question marks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LockeJET 1,806 #43 Posted March 5, 2009 Probably right, but I wouldn't be surprised if Tex takes it upon himself. When you sign a $200 million dollar contract you can take a sh*t upon yourself. No way do they pay someone that much and then stick him at a position he hasnt sniffed in years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morrissey 12,813 #44 Posted March 5, 2009 It's likely A-Rod has Osteoarthritis, which is, a type of arthritis that is caused by the breakdown and eventual loss of the cartilage of one or more joints. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jbro22 95,172 #45 Posted March 5, 2009 Good. I hope he's out the whole season. +1 Hope he comes back and sucks. Then retires. I ****ing hate that man, I don't care how much he brings to the Yankees. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jbro22 95,172 #46 Posted March 5, 2009 Umm, he said it bothered him at the end of last season. WHY THE **** DIDN'T HE GET IT CHECKED OUT DURING THE OFFSEASON? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Otter 27,367 #48 Posted March 5, 2009 I got this from one of my school's online databases... Osteoarthritis (OA), which is also known as osteoarthrosis or degenerative joint disease (DJD), is a progressive disorder of the joints caused by gradual loss of cartilage and resulting in the development of bony spurs and cysts at the margins of the joints. Prognosis OA is a progressive disorder without a permanent cure. In some patients, the rate of progression can be slowed by weight loss, appropriate exercise, surgical treatment, and the use of alternative therapies.

Borgoguy 157,276 #49 Posted March 5, 2009 Oh man, considering Girardi said he had discomfort since last year this is a disaster for the Yankees and someone should be fired if this is the first MRI they have done. How about we start with Girardi? Talk about a guy that should never have been given the job. Get the resume together, Joe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Borgoguy 157,276 #51 Posted March 5, 2009 I don't see how any of this has to do with Girardi. Did I misread it? I thought you said Joe knew about this last year, but didn't say anything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChadLover 952 #52 Posted March 5, 2009 Did I misread it? I thought you said Joe knew about this last year, but didn't say anything. He said he knew about it last year but to my knowledge did not explain who else knew or what they decided and why. I have to assume the medical staff and Cash knew as well.

While the steroid related stories in major league baseball seems to be unending, steroid issues still plague other leagues like NFL. The recent report published in the March issue of the American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation shows that injuries of previous NFL players can be attributed to their steroid use when still active in the game. This may be alarming but the number of users in professional sports seems to grow more regardless of its risks and consequences. Players are more concerned with the fame and income rather than their health and loss of career.

Jaded Green 17,179 #66 Posted March 5, 2009 I'm concerned for the Yankees only cause: Tex = Slow Starter Robbie = Slow Starter CC = Slow Starter I'm just hoping we play some good baseball and win some games. Winning cures everything. If they do get off to a slow start, do you think Girardi gets the ax? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless you plan on brining back Bernie Williams in his prime, you better have someone ready to replace his production in the lineup. The idea we can go win without our #4 hitter and not replace him is ridiculous. Edited March 5, 2009 by Tyler Durden Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
