    Alex Rodriguez anyone?

    He is available in my 14 team mixed league...Worth a flyer or over the hill?

    I could drop Eric Stults or Erasmo Ramirez and ARod would take the place of Frazier (3b) or Howie Kendrick (util).

    Anyone taking a chance on him?

    worth it - if he is a bench player that might replace someone eventually

    I grabbed him but it is a wait and see situation - i had to cut ryan doumit (my bench catcher for him)

      I got him in my AL-only auction for $7 (didn't really expect to), but, like the Yankees, he will be replacing Luis Cruz in my lineup.

          A-Rod is going to be terrible. You can bank on that.

            Grabbed him for a buck at the end of my AL-only auction. He'll be replacing Brett Wallace if he shows signs of life although I'm going to let him simmer for a bit before I activate him.

            In a 14-teamer? Worth a shot, I'd probably drop Erasmo for him.

              I'll take that bet...last year, playing on one hip, he hit .270 with 18 HR's and 13 steals. I'll take a low cost chance that he'll be better than that now that he's healthy.

                I hesitated and someone else picked him up...

                  You've had good luck with 35 and older players this year. You should have pounced.

                    I just grabbed him in my AFA league. Hoping to catch lightning in a bottle. I dropped Revere to get him, so 0 risk.

                        A-Rod has Grade 1 quad strain. Staying on DL. Headed back to Tampa, not Texas. And the beat goes on.

                          Not to mention that MLB may drop the hammer on him very soon. The timing of this "quad strain" may be a bit fishy, or strictly coincidental.
