MSNBC’s Mike Celizic had this to say about the slumping Alex Rodriguez:
“He’s shot. Toast. Finished as a Yankee, and there’s no sense pretending he can come back and be the man he was advertised to be.” Defensively, A-Rod has had a trying season. And offensively, he struggled in June, but has rebounded with a .932 OPS in July (through July 27). Rodriguez remains one of baseball’s elite players. Celizic’s assertions are patently absurd. Anyone can have a bad day, month, or — in Celizic’s case — column.
