First please let me say that I'm thrilled that Baseball has started and I look forward to many baseball stories from "Front Row Report". While I agree that the Rangers young Elvis Andrus is a great talent, I'm always hesitant with these long term contracts.....so many things can happen to anyone over 8 or 10 years...hope this young man stays healthy and productive....I'm sure the Yankees had hoped ARod was not going through the physical problems he's had over the past 3 years...
