When it comes to Alex Rodriguez, general manager Brian Cashman doesn't know what the Yankees have with the man who is fifth on the all-time home run list with 654 but has played in 44 games the past two seasons due to injuries and suspension.
"I don't know what to expect from Alex. It's every color in the rainbow,'' Cashman said Friday. "The extreme hope is that you get the middle-of-the-lineup bat who can play third whenever you want if not all the time and be a productive middle of the lineup hitter. But at the same time the worst-case scenario that he is no longer a third baseman and is not a productive bat and you are looking for places to play, whether it's the DH role or spot start here or there.''
Rodriguez, banned for the 2014 season after being involved in the Biogenesis mess, will be 40 in late July and has undergone surgery on each hip. He has three years and $61 million remaining on a contract, and while time at first base has been discussed, that is a long shot at this point.
"We will find out once we get through spring training, when he knocks the rust off by playing again,'' Cashman said. "He will be in great shape, he always is. We hope to get the positives that we spoke of. I can't plan on it. That's why I actually avoid penciling his name in for the same reason I avoided naming a closer last year when Mariano Rivera retired and [David] Robertson was up for the task for competing for that spot.
