I love the games reporters play---here digs at Torre, swoons over Arod

Here Jon Heyman of NY Newsday refers to the recent center field flap about Arod and Jeter. He says Torre's words were "undoubtedly born out of frustration or even desperation...before being shot down by general manager, Brian Cashman." He reports that Arod wants to stay at 3rd base, never wants to play shortstop for the Yanks, & thinks Jeter should stay at short. Heyman says Rodriguez "sacrificed his beloved shortstop..." Hey, look, he was compensated--he's not suffering. Man. So Heyman has inside information, without a doubt, as he says, that Torre was so frustrated and desperate in late November of 2005 that he...he made a comment about center field. Heyman also mentions Arod's "well-known fly-ball phobia," as the reason he couldn't possibly be the one shipped out to center field. In case any Yankee suits were really thinking about it, Heyman wants them to forget it. Or someone does.
