The Yanks should resign him for insurance. When you look over the Yankees roster right now, if you were to give it to someone 8 years ago, and say this will be the Yankees roster, they wouldn't believe it. Jeter, ARod, Ichiro, Andruw Jones, Chavez, Pettite, Ibanez, Sabathia, Freddy Garcia, Derek Lowe. I hope these folks can hold up long enough to get us to the promised land, but so far, so good. Ichiro hitting 2 bombs and seeing Chavez play really well again is heartwarming. The poor folks in Oakland and unfortunate in Seattle probably feel differently. (6) I love it!

That way in 2017 when his PED controversy is ancient news, he will be considered again as a first round HoFer. His ego probably demands it, and right now when voted on in 2013 as he would normally be, he probably doesn't get in and he knows it.
