Can A-Rod keep his focus on the field?

If only A-Rod’s first few years in New York had worked out the way 2009 did. After being humbled in the spring by the steroids issue, Rodriguez really let it all come together last year, blocking out a lot of the white noise that followed him around and finding a trusted voice in Jason Zillo, the Yankees’ director of media relations. With Zillo’s advice and reduced expectations after right hip surgery, Rodriguez was able to relax and be one of the guys — as opposed to “The Guy.” The results showed on the field; even the scrutiny of a very public relationship with Kate Hudson didn’t seem to affect him between the lines. The formula of keeping his public comments limited worked in 2007 and again in ’09. There’s no reason to think A-Rod should try to do anything differently. 5. With so much turnover, can they really play together and become a team? You’d like to think so, and maybe Joe Girardi will have to rent another bus in Spring Training and take the boys out for a second annual bill
