08:15 AM ET 01.18 | Now that Alex Rodriguez has undergone his surgery, the prognosis may be better than expected. Alex Rodriguez's surgeon, Dr. Bryan Kelly, told the Yankees that he discovered less cartilage damage in A-Rod's hip than expected, a good sign that the third baseman will have fewer complications as he tries to come back, a source said. "It was minimal," the source said. "Now it's up to his rehab." Minimal cartilage damage means "they wouldn't have to do a microfracture (procedure) or anything where they are trying to regenerate areas where the cartilage has worn away," said Dr. Derek Ochiai, an orthopedic surgeon and hip arthroscopy specialist in Arlington, Va. "That will mean his rehab has the highest chance of successfully getting back to the level with his hip that he was before his hip started hurting."

You Yankees fans loved this guy when he helped your team win its last ring. Kind of funny.

It looks like he'll be playing out the length of his contract after all.

And the White Sox fans loved Ozzie once upon a time. It is the way of it all. Same with any team and its fans, the only difference is at the end of their time do you respect that player or manager? Now you can argue in that forum.

Never thought he should have been resigned same as Cashman thoguht whne he told him to go shop himself around. (Cash did that with Jeter, too)

Yes, when he was first aquired for two reasons: (1) he was very, very good offensively (read that any way you want) and (2) Texas was paying a large part of his contract. But when he had the right to opt out and renegotiate his contract: No.

I think it's safe to say that most of us root for him to do well but are quite frustrated with him about his performance the last few years while he's still paid an enormous amount of money.

It's not his fault the Yankees were dumb enough to give an insane amount of money to an over the hill PED user.
