She's right, so far.??And I think you have to wonder about the Freudian implications of guys having an overwhelming need to own a player named Sizemore.? I'm not sayin' . . . I'm just sayin'.

Now that there are no more Pippen prognostications, I have turned to the fifth member of the Winick clan - Ms. Sophie Winick, our 3 year old Cavalier/Poodle.? She is the only one that stays up with me while I wile away the evenings preparing to do battle.? It turns out that I talk to myself during my preparations and Sophie has been paying attention.? And she has discerned some clear patterns.? Over the course of the next few days, I will be sharing some of her observations with the league.??We'll begin with her reaction to the rumors of A-Rod's injury problems and the implications that will have upon his draft value.? She stated, and I believe I have this verbatim:

"The guy you refer to as Mr. B. will buy A-Rod.? And he'll pay far too much - something in excess and potentially well in excess of?$35."

She has many others observations and there are more coming every night.? And mind you, these aren't of the obvious sort.? It isn't like she'll be predicting?that all of the young Minnesota pitchers will be on the Brats roster or that the rebuilding Red Hots will?fill its roster with players not old enough to drink.? No, these are?key, outcome-determinative predictions.

One more example:? "Prepare for the guy that you call Brad Lee and?the guy who falls in love with his players (I think his name is Rich)?to engage in an epic battle for Grady Sizemore.? He will be the most expensive player at the draft."??

More to follow.

TOeFuKi

On a related note, please note that retention rosters are due by 5:00 p.m. on Sunday.? Failure to comply will result in Sophie making your choices for you.??

No.? That would be near the hip but not actually on the hip.? Sort of between the hips and to the rear.? Oh, wait . . . you mean the other kind of 'roids.? Never mind.

I'll bit $3 anyway.

Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez will have surgery to remove a cyst from his right hip and will be out 10 weeks, Rodriguez's brother told ESPNdeportes.com on Thursday.



Joe Rodriguez, Alex Rodriguez's older brother, told Enrique Rojas of ESPNdeportes.com during a phone interview that immediate surgery was recommended, and that rehabilitation would take about 10 weeks. 



A source close to the situation told ESPNdeportes.com that the surgery is scheduled for Monday in Colorado.



There has been no confirmation from the Yankees regarding the scheduled surgery.

?? I'll bid $2.
