The starting third baseman for the Yankees prior to getting A-Rod was Aaron Boone. He was cut on February 27, 2004 after suffering a knee injury while playing a pick-up Basketball game.
There have been several backup third basemen since 2004, but the starting job has always belonged to A-Rod.
Christian Guzman. Also sent to the Twins for Knoblauch were pitchers Eric Milton and Danny Mota and outfielder/first baseman Brian Buchanan.
You are, there is no question You got ripped! You gave up proven third baseman with 40 homers last season and entering his prime, a heck of a defensive thirdbasam who hits .330, a 30 homer second baseman, and a catcher in a stacked lineup. You got 2 old players (Ibanez and Ichiro) a star, but you gave up 2 stars to get him who are at thin positions.
yes he did
No not this season.
Alex Rodriquez
No
No.
