A-Rod vs. Jake Westbrook
If Alex Rodriguez plays tonight in Cleveland, he will face righthander Jake Westbrook, the subject of numerous trade rumors (including the Yankees, where he pitched in 2000). He is 6-6 with a 4.74 earned run average. Wouldn't it be interesting if A-Rod hit his 600th off Westbrook and then became A-Rod's teammate by the trading deadline?
A-Rod has one home run in 24 at-bats against Westbrook. He is hitting 375 against the pitcher with one double and four runs batted in. A-Rod has a career batting average of .300 average against the Indians and has hit 29 homers.
