A-Rod's Teammates React to Details Picture

From Kat O'Brien:
A player in the Yankees clubhouse saw the photo yesterday on the cover of the New York Post and snickered at it with a couple teammates. "What was he thinking?" one mused. Most Yankees shook their heads or shrugged. One said: "Don't worry, we'll be sure to make fun of him for it."

When shown the picture before Team USA's game in the World Baseball Classic, Derek Jeter appeared a bit taken aback but had no comment. He shook his head and said: "All sorts of articles coming out."
They pretty reacted the way a lot of fans did. I'd really like to know who said they'll make fun of him. It was probably Joba.

LOL I'm sure his teammates will give him a hard time for it. That is funny that a reporter would show Jeter the picture and then ask for his comments.

I would have loved to see the look on Jeter's face when he first saw that pic.

I would have loved to see the look on A-Rod's face when he saw Jeter costing team USA multiple runs with his statue-esque defense at shortstop. It really is sad to see at this point.

Ross,

Its the WBC, not the World Series. Take it easy on Jeter (especially on this website). Arod maybe the better shortstop, but it isn't happening, never will happen and shouldn't even be eluded to. As for Arod's photo shoot, the guy must have an IQ of 10 or something. Why won't he just go away??!! I don't want to see or hear from AROD until the day he comes back from this injury. And that day, when the press hounds him, all I want to hear is "my bat will do the talking this season, not me." Period.

Peter;

The article was written before A-Rod had his surgery. The only person(s) he has spoken with since the surgery have been with Girardi and Cashman.
When he comes back he should not even talk to the media for the rest of the season.

Logan69, I agree the media is just looking for things that they can rip A-Rod for. He needs to act more like Bonds with the media and not care about them.

Hank Steinbrenner said it the best just shutup and hit the ball.
