Is Arod really getting a shot this Spring?

On the eve of Arod's first spring training game yanks fans are left to wonder what will come of baseball's forever black eye?  Now we can sit here all day and talk about what type of numbers he will put up.  Will he make the team?  Will Arod settle for a buyout?  Tough to even fathom when he's set to make north of $60 mil over the next three years.  Instead, I find myself thinking how much support is this guy getting from the organization.  The organization I have grown to love ever since I was a little kid.  The organization that stands for everything right in this otherwise backwards sports world we live in.  Look, ill be the first one to tell you that Arod is degenerate and deserved everything that has gone wrong in his life but let's not forget that he paid the price.  He sat out a year and a half from baseball and he's now honoring his contractual obligations and trying to get back up to speed with major league baseball.  So as we sit here on the night before Arod is slated to start at DH down in Florida we are left to wonder where he stands with the folks 1000+ miles away.

It goes without saying that we desperately need Arod to perform and to make this team.  230 BA, 20 dingers, 80 RBI's would be a lift for a team that had a horrible time scoring runs last year.  Is it possible?  Probably not...Shoot id go as far as to say that would be one of the most impressive comebacks sports has seen in a while.  They have always said the hardest thing to do is to hit MLB pitching, take into account that Arod is 39 and hasn't played in a game since 2013 and id say that is one of the more impressive things you'll see. 

So to sum it all up...let's show a little love NY (Girardi, Steinbrenner, Yankee mgmt.)  As much as we hate this guy, we need this guy and everyone loves a comeback story...
