Absolutely. ARod is still undoubtedly one of the best players in the game. He just can't seem to get out of his own way since he came to NY. And of course the media just feeds on it - they have from day one, with the whole Shortstop-Shortstop thing. But I can easily see that this could potentially be his last season in NY if he doesn't start to live up to the grand expectations everyone had for him.

I'm still upset about Bernie, though. I can understand Bernie's feelings. He's a huge part of why the Yankees have been so successful, but he had to see this coming, unless he thought that last year's performance made him worthy of a new contract. Hell, I thought so. But it is what it is. I still wish he would've shown up, though. I'm sure he could have made his way onto the team somehow.
