No matter how well the doctors repaired A-Rod's hip, will he be able to resemble something of his old self after missing so much time at 37?
Alex Rodriguez had surgery on his left hip Wednesday and is expected to be sidelined until after the All-Star break.
A-Rod needs to find a way to stay on the field. And while surgery might help, I can't feel with any certainty that he'll return to being a significantly productive player.
The doctor who will perform surgery on Alex Rodriguez's ailing left hip isn't shocked that the Yankees' slugger slumped mightily throughout the playoffs. In fact, he's surprised A-Rod was "able to play at all with a hip that looked like that."
"I know a lot of people have told me they think home runs are bad," Cashman said. "I'm not one of them. Well, those people are going to get a chance to see what it looks like."

Brian Cashman usually stresses patience in the offseason, and that seems to be the course he's taking again this year, even as his team has more glaring needs than normal.
"Beggars can't be choosers," general manager Brian Cashman said. "...There's not a lot of choices out there. It's a very limited sandbox to play in."
A-Rod must be considered severely damaged goods, the kind that certainly will never return to his lofty status of old, and may even struggle to attain mere usefulness.
