Alex Rodriguez declared himself fit and ready to play "north of 145, 150 games and let the chips fall where they may" for the New York Yankees this season, two months after having an unorthodox blood-spinning therapy in Germany to relieve knee and shoulder injuries that limited him to just 99 games in 2011. And the bulk of those games, he said, will be played at third base. "First of all, let me just say this. I don't train and prepare to be a DH," Rodriguez said, somewhat defiantly, during a 24-minute news conference after the Yankees' first day of full squad workouts.
