Chasing A-Rod

Arod5 Just came back from over the causeway in Tampa, where Alex Rodriguez took 84 swings (10 home runs) and gave Tuesday night as his target for returning to the Yanks' lineup.

A-Rod said that if he gets 12 at-bats during two extended spring training games this weekend, he'll be fine. And he intends to return as a third baseman immediately, not a DH -- a sentiment already expressed by Joe Girardi.

There were a handful of fans watching A-Rod at the minor-league complex on Himes Avenue, maybe six in all. After BP, A-Rod told the pleading fans that he'd sign for them by the main gate, after a scheduled meeting with Dr. Allen Miller, a Tampa-based club physician.

About 20 other A-Rod fans were already at the main gate, sweating under the hot Tampa sun, waiting for a glimpse of Rodriguez. But a smattering of minor-league Yankees had already witnessed him up close. And their eyes followed him everywhere.

One prospect peered through a chain link fence on the adjacent Field 3, just to watch A-Rod take some easy batting practice swings on Field 2.
