All true. But, when healthy, he's been a GREAT big game pitcher. A stop the bleeding pitcher.

He did none of that in the ALCS and again today, with everyone on the DL, he didn't step it up. I find it troubling.

A-Rod isn't A-Rod. Tex might not be Tex. Grandy is playing for a contract ... with the 189 limit, he won't be back with the Yanks in 2014. And, no one knows what Jeter has left.

If they don't make the playoffs, unlikely but possible, then I can't see them sticking to the 189 plan. They can't punt two years. Especially with Mo gone and maybe Jeter, too.
