He said it is their decision to announce the news after they(Kei and his wife) are in USA. Unlike the most japanese baseball player, Kei's wife is just a normal female, I mean normal is that most of them marry with anchors, based on my memory.... anyway, wish the couple can have wonderful time in US...

Pretty far from the potential the Yankees thought he had when they originally made that trade for him. I think I read he took a utility infielder spot somewhere.

Hard huh? Maybe Aaron Boones out there. Try finding a 3b to replace maybe the greatest hitter in the game.

Good article; I liked the breakdown of the three different possible scenarios for Alex stays/Alex goes. I'd like to hope things work out this season and that the Yankees keep him around. What team wouldn't want all those records broken in their uniform? Especially the Yankees. Pete, I went back and read some of the archived blogs from last season. It's great stuff -- it ends up being like a journal of the season. And it's a great appetizer for this one! Thanks for the link, Bardos.
