After each season the NY daily News does a "keep em or dump em" poll of both New York baseball teams. While many polls are strictly a "snapshot" of how those taking the poll feel, this poll has more then just 1,000 people chiming in like many political polls offer

Ever since All-Star infielder Alex Rodriguez has gone on the disabled list with a broken hand, Eric Chavez has done a relatively good job filling in and has been swinging a hot bat. When A-Rod is ready to return from the DL, would you keep Chavez in the lineup, as long as he is still producing at this high level?

Last night, Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez was hit in the hand by a pitch from Mariners ace Felix Hernandez, causing a non-displaced fracture and putting him on the Disabled List for probably six to eight weeks

Ichiro Suzuki, a future Hall of Famer, bowed to the fans and said good-bye to the only city he has ever known since coming over from the Far East. The catch? He didn’t even have to leave the stadium because the team he went to was Seattle’s opponent that night, the Yankees!

For a while now, there seems to be great venom towards Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez anytime he doesn't come through in a clutch situation, regardless of the score or the opponent. Noe thinks it comes down to one of two things - his salary or his past performance; which one do you believe it is?
