A-Rod would bat 3rd here. Anyways, I'm not sure if this has been mentioned but at SI.com it was said that Alex wouldn't waive his no trade to come here because of Ozzie. Who knows if that's true but it's interesting with out a doubt.
Was that a quote from him or speculation? Probably there are more moves coming(leadoff), but why couldn't he bat 2nd?
