My question is, why is Girardi benching his best player (and face of the franchise now that Jeter is out) for the two biggest games of the season? He did so in Game 5 of the ALDS last week and again last night.

He is being benched cause he is playing horrible. My 7 year old can do the same as Arod right now at bat. Hell at his height he will get on base more because he will walk.

ARod is not the only one not producing. With Jeter out, I think ARod should have started.

Who's their best player? Its definately not Arod. He may have been the best 5 years ago, but he's a shadow of himself

I agree A-Rod should start with Jeter out. I mean the Yankees are down 3-0, they have to try something. And if we're going to trade A-Rod, please not Heath Bell. That trade is the epitome of "out of the frying pan, into the fire".

A-Rod is taking ALL the heat for the Yankees slump..but Cano and Swisher have been doing worse...Tex hasnt showed up either..
It's just everyone's dislike of A-Rod that makes him the easy target...and unfortunatley he is brought alot of it on himself..
He definitely is not producing and did need to be dropped in the order..but I cant say I agree with benching him for games 3 and 4
Everyone thought the Yankees pitching would doom them, but the staff has been throwing excellent games..at this point the whole team is pressing too much and I really cant point the finger at one person..
Also I sure would hate to see A-Rod in that butt ugly Miami uniform..

All I know is if we are paying all or most of the remainder of A-Rod's contract we sure as hell better get more than Heath Bell in return. lol

So Yanks weren't paying anything for him until recently.
