    Good news: Yankees hitting coach Kevin Long spent five days in Miami with Alex Rodriguez earlier this month. He proclaims the third baseman and cleanup hitter "fully healthy,'' and says, "His swing looks great.''

    Bad news: He said the same thing about this time last year. And by the end of spring training, during which A-Rod knocked the stitches off the baseball, we all were repeating it. Some even went so far as to predict a fourth MVP award which would naturally lead the Yankees to another victory parade down Ol' Broadway.

    But all that followed was a parade of injuries -- shoulder, knee, thumb -- that limited him to 99 games and a measly (by his standards) 16 home runs and 62 RBIs, both career lows.
