Re: Yankees and A-Rod

Myself always having been more of a utility infielder, I have played every infield position, and I still think that 3rd is very physically demanding. That said, in my current league I play 2nd mainly, and I still don't think I see as much action as 3rd. Yes, I move more to cut off, turn 2, etc. but that to me is easier than having balls rocked at you over and over, then having to either throw across the diamond or make the quick, accurate throw to second for the DP. Like I said, it could go either way.

Is this a softball league, or a baseball league with pitchers who throw fastballs 60 mph?
The league I play in has a lot of balls hit opp. field by righties. It could be because we seem to have a plethora of lefty pitchers in our league. Of my 12 P.A.'s this season, only 3 have been from the left side.
I agree that the throw to 2nd sucks from 3rd, it is easy to sail on you, but what does that have to do with "physically demanding", and "career shortening"?
