I believe this is his 2nd year back from TJ Surgery, that is typically when pitchers get back to the way they were previously ... therefore, it's worth taking a chance with Joba the Hut.
Alex Rodriguez suspension: Judge deals 'huge blow' to MLB's case http://www.sbnation.com/mlb/2013/12...z-trial-ped-suspension-mlb-yankees-biogenesis
Somone please put this guy of his misery I mean baseball he is a disgrace to it and should be banned for life imo 
The latest ruling from Federal court could help A-Rod reduce his suspension.
Manhattan Federal Judge Edgardo Ramos has granted Alex Rodriguez's PR rep Michael Sitrick a stay from the November 22 court order requiring him to honor MLB's subpeona to appear before the arbiter who will determine A-Rod's ban for his alleged PED use and involvement with the Biogenesis clinic, according to Rich Calder of the New York Post.This latest ruling allows Sitrick to avoid meeting with the independent arbiter by giving him the chance to appeal the previous ruling, a process which is likely to take longer than the suspension ruling. The judge also ruled against MLB's request to hold Rodriguez's PR man in contempt of court and fine him daily for pursuing appeal. Calder quotes Ramos explaining-"It would be unseemly and unruly to hold him in contempt while he pursues his public right to appeal,"Sitrick, dubbed the "Wizard of Spin," might have been a key piece in Major League Baseball's case against the Yankees star if not for this ruling. The previous court order would have required the PR specialist to turn over documents the league believes A-Rod took from Biogenesis owner Anthony Bosch in an attempt to obstruct the investigation. MLB also believes that Sitrick leaked Francisco Cervelli and Ryan Braun's connection to Biogenesis to divert attention from Rodriguez. The ruling could seriously impact the league's case against Rodriguez, as Calder explains-"The judge's ruling is a huge blow to MLB's case against Rodriguez because it's unlikely that the Second Circuit Court of Appeals would rule on the matter before the independent arbitrator, Fredric Horowitz, decides on the suspension as expected in early-to-mid January. In theory, the federal appeals panel could expedite the process, although such a move is rare."If the court does not expedite the process, Sitrick and the documents he was originally compelled to provide will not factor into the arbiter's ruling. However, MLB lawyer Howard Ganz told Calder he did not think that would make it difficult for the arbiter to uphold the full suspension originally imposed but the league.The full impact of this ruling and the extent of the evidence that it will keep from the arbiter is impossible to gauge at this point, but it is clear that evidence the league has worked hard to obtain for their case is now unlikely to be presented.

Banned for life? He hasn't even had ONE positive drug test. How can you suspend someone for life who have never tested positive?
If he ever tests positive, then use the process already in place. Fifty games for the first offense, 100 for the second. The 211 game ban proposed by Selig is arbitrary. Plus he doesn't even have the balls to face ARod at the hearings.
From what I've read, Selig hasn't appeared at any prior hearings, even high profile ones like Braun. He was allowed to have someone else represent him....
True, he hasn't. Selig allowed this whole steroid era on his watch, and now that he's leaving, wants to look like he actually cares. The only thing he cares about is his legacy.

Selig has been and is a fraud.
His legacy is sad .... allowing steroids is only a small part.
