A-Rod To Have Surgery; Out For Two Months

Yankees' third basemen Alex Rodriguez has opted for surgery. According to numerous sources, A-Rod will have a "hybrid" surgery which will only cause him to miss two months instead of four. To do this, the surgery will be "limited" and will not completely heal him. A-Rod will have the procedure done tomorrow (Monday) morning by Dr. Marc Philippon, one of the best hip-surgeons in North America.
If the Yankees were to let A-Rod play with the torn labrum, he would've done more long-term damage to himself. The Yankees were stuck in-between the decision to have the surgery or not, for they are a much weaker team without their slugging-third basemen. But for now, they'll have to make due with Cody Ransom or whoever takes over at third. But even with that, this seems like the smart move for the Yankees.

On another note, I am sorry for the lack of videos posted on our Youtube account, there have been some technical errors. But, the first video will be posted some time this week.
