Though he has hit some dramatic homeruns since his return from the DL, The Alex Rodriguez Show has yet to hit stride with the bat. His real impact thus far has happened while standing in the on deck circle.
Mark Teixeira has been the player that the Yankees paid in the 10 games since Alex's return:
Before:
25 G, .198 AVG, 5 HR, 15RBI
After:
10 G, .342 AVG, 5 HR, 13 RBI
(stats courtest of the MLB Network, a.k.a. the greatest thing to happen to me since my second nut dropped)
Once Rodruguez returns to form, this offense will be downright scary.

The guys are a tag-team when both are on. It will be an incredible season. And I mean A-Rod is back to form somewhat--4 straight games with homeruns. He's back in the likes of the old-timer Yanks--well of course they never were caught for steroids, but it's good to have the guy back, and it's good to see tex getting in the mix too.
