Don't hate the writer, but I was right about A-Rod.
He had his cyst drained but now it appears that there is more damage and he won't be able to play through the pain. The damage to the labrum is more severe than expected. It had to be because the Yankees pulled him out of the WBC.
If he was able to play with the pain he should be playing in the WBC. It is no different than playing the Spring Training games.
