I'll explain in five words why the Yankees don't regret Alex Rodriguez's contract.

Nobody buys Curtis Granderson jerseys.

"Once back, Rodriguez will reclaim third base, remember how to catch a pop-up and try to avoid finishing a season with fewer than 20 home runs (he currently has 13) for the first time since he became an everyday major leaguer."

He'll have 20 HRs by the end of the month.


He'll also probably DH a lot with Chavez playing third.


Of course ARod is not worth $27.5 million per year, or whatever. Just about every veteran baseball player is overpaid.

But there is really no reason for the Yankees to regret signing him to a long-term, expensive contract. It's not as though 1996 ARod was available as an alternative.
