For the Yankees, this is not a significant blow to their offense because they have tremendous depth and power in the lineup. For the time being, they will likely go with some kind of a platoon at third base with Eric Chavez and Jayson Nix. Despite the injuries, the Yankees boast the best record in baseball at and hold a seven-game lead over Baltimore in the American League East.
Follow adamwells The family moved to the Dominican Republic and then to Miami, Florida when Alex was quite young, and he grew up in Miami. He was a star player on the Westminster Christian High School baseball team, and was selected to play for the U. A-Rod was drafted by the Seattle Mariners as the 1 pick in the amateur draft after earning first team prep All-American honors and leading his high school team to a national 1 ranking.
His school record for home runs was later tied by J. Arencibia in Rodriguez made his Major League debut with the Seattle Mariners on July 8 , against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park , becoming the only player to reach the majors at age 18 since the s. He spent less that a month with the Mariners that strike-shortened season, and split time in between the Mariners and their AAA team in Tacoma.
In he played only two games with Tacoma, and since then has been in the majors full time. He remained with the Mariners through the season, making three All-Star teams and establishing himself as one of the game's best shortstops and one of its premier offensive players. His first great season was in , when he hit. He had his first homer season two years later in , a year he also led the AL with hits.
He continued to perform at the highest level with the Rangers, leading the league in home runs all three years and winning his first MVP award in He also topped 50 homers for the first time in , a total he would reach two more times, in and Although he had made his reputation as one of greatest shortstops of his generation, he deferred to Yankee captain and shortstop Derek Jeter and accepted a move to third base with the Yankees even though he had won two Gold Gloves as a shortstop while Jeter had won none.
In he broke the Yankees' single-season record for home runs by a right-handed hitter, held for more than 50 years by all-time Yankee great Joe DiMaggio when he hit He raised the record to 54 two years later, in That season, he tied a record by hitting 12 home runs in his first 15 games. Despite continuing to achieve extraordinary success in the regular season, A-Rod's postseason performance was disappointing to his fans, batting.
He gained some measure of infamy during the ALCS against Boston when he "karate chopped" Boston pitcher Bronson Arroyo , who was tagging him out at first base. In November, he re-signed with the Yankees after hearing advice from his friend Warren Buffett, the famous billionaire investor.
Agent Scott Boras had encouraged him to ask for much more on the free agent market but Rodriguez did not heed his advice. On September 3 , , a home run he hit to left field off Troy Percival became the first play to be reviewed under MLB's new instant replay rule; Brian Runge 's home run call was upheld. He missed the beginning of the season because of hip surgery, but on August 7th , he became the 9th player in major league history to hit at least 20 home runs in every year in a decade, and the first from the s.
He finished the year with 30 homers and RBI, although his batting average slipped to. To reach those totals, he had a great final game on October 4th , when he hit a pair of homers and drove in 7 runs in a run 6th inning against the Tampa Bay Rays ; the 7 RBI were an American League record, although they fell short by 1 of Fernando Tatis ' major league record of 8 RBI in a single inning.
That season, he put to rest criticisms about his lack of hitting in the postseason, as he carried the Yankee offense on his shoulders in the first two rounds of the playoffs: he went 5 for 11 with 2 home runs and 6 RBI in the ALDS against the Minnesota Twins , then was 9 for 21 with 2 doubles, 3 homers and 6 RBI in the ALCS against the Los Angeles Angels. He was not as scorching in the World Series , but still contributed 3 doubles, a home run and another 6 RBI in the Yankees' defeat of the Philadelphia Phillies.
He had taken 10 days to hit the milestone homer, but he hit it on the three-year anniversary of his th long ball. The constant attention seemed to affect him; it did not help that MLB had decided to introduce specially-numbered baseballs to mark the occasion, with the result that the game was interrupted every time he stepped to the plate in order to change the baseballs, bringing even more attention to his ongoing slump. Rodriguez's season was interrupted by surgery on his right knee at the All-Star break; he was hitting.
While on the disabled list in August, Rodriguez was involved in another off-field controversy. Stories came out that he had participated in illegal high-stakes poker games where drugs were present and fights may have occurred. MLB decided to investigate the allegations, based on its policy dating back to the Black Sox Scandal to eradicate any potential ties with gambling, and given that it had already warned A-Rod about staying away from such occasions after he was spotted at a poker parlor in New York in A-Rod vehemently denied the accusations, but a day after his return to the line-up, the New York Post published a story saying he had been spotted the previous week at a high-stakes poker game at the Mohegan Sun casino in Connecticut.
He finished the season with the worst numbers of his career - 16 homers and 62 RBI, with a. After the season, on the advice of his friend, NBA superstar Kobe Bryant, he went to Germany for experimental treatment on his right knee receiving Orthokine therapy which involves taking blood from his arm, spinning it in a centrifuge, and then re-injecting it in the area of concern.
The first half of the season was the healthiest in years for A-Rod, as he played in 94 of the team's first 97 games. However, his production was way down, as he had a. He was left off the All-Star team , then on July 24th suffered a freak injury when a change-up by Seattle's Felix Hernandez broke a bone in his left hand, sending him to the disabled list.
It capped a bad day for Rodriguez, who had become the 5th player to reach 2, career strikeouts earlier in the contest. He was out for six weeks altogether, only returning to the line-up on September 3rd. He finished the season with a. He was only 2 for 16, and was benched at two key moments, giving way to pinch-hitter Raul Ibanez with the Yankees down by one run in the 9th inning of Game 3 - Ibanez hit a dramatic game-tying homer - and being left on the bench in favor of Eric Chavez in the decisive Game 5.
What made things worse was that he had been seen flirting with female fans in the stands during Game 1, which the Yankees lost in extra innings. By then, he was the favorite target of boo-birds at New Yankee Stadium. The benchings and the poor play led to speculation that the Yankees may look to trade him in the off-season, with the Miami Marlins being mentioned as a possible destination - although the Yankees would have needed to eat a large portion of his huge contract to make such a trade happen.
No trade happened in the early days of the off-season, and then more bad news hit on December 3rd when it was announced that Rodriguez had a hip tear and would need to undergo surgery on January 16th , which was likely to sideline him for the first half of the season at a minimum.
It was the worst possible news for the Yankees, as they remained on the hook for his salary, needed to find a short-term replacement at third base, and had no guarantee that he would be a productive hitter when he returned.
They signed veteran 3B Kevin Youkilis to a one-year contract a few days later to ensure they would at least have a major league-caliber hitter to play the hot corner.
Indeed, a few days after the surgery, GM Brian Cashman stated publicly that there was a chance A-Rod would miss the entire season "because of the serious nature of the surgery and the condition that he's trying to recover from".
If things weren't bad enough for him, his name turned up in another PED-related matter, the Biogenesis Laboratories affair see below , at the end of that month, prompting more speculation of an early retirement. This was immediately denied by persons close to him who added that Alex was "working diligently on his rehabilitation and [ It then emerged that the Yankees were not so eager to see him return to action: on June 26th , he announced that he had received clearance from doctors to start playing ball again.
That did not go well with Cashman, who reacted by stating "Alex should just shut the expletive up. That's it. I'm going to call Alex now", fueling speculation that the Yankees had unsuccessfully tried to convince A-Rod to call it a career in order for them to cash in the insurance on his huge contract, and that they were not pleased at all that he was planning on playing again.
But plans changed a day before he was set to return, as he went down again with a left quadriceps strain, delaying his return until at least the end of July. The injury report came out of the blue, and led to more speculation that the Yankees simply did not want to see A-Rod suit up again, even though in his absence the team's fill-in third basemen had posted the worst OPS in the majors at the position. Indeed, A-Rod claimed he was not injured and went back to New York to seek a second opinion to buttress his claim.
Physician Michael L. Gross stated publicly two days later: "To be perfectly honest, I don't see any sort of injury there," hinting that the Yankees were trying to commit insurance fraud. Cashman then gave the soap opera another twist by stating that A-Rod's going to an outside specialist constituted a violation of his contract.
