There is a new Yankees blog out on the Internet today as YankeesHomePlate.Com has set up shop and will be blogging about the Yankees starting with the 2008 season.  You can expect to see some great articles out of YankeesHomeplate as they will be blogging about game reviews, injuries, rumors & transactions, as well as Yankee tickets and merchandise.

The big story during the off season for the New York Yankees was the re-signing of Alex Rodriguez.  Most Yankees fans though A-Rod was long gone when he opted out of his contact, but a few weeks later he signed a new 300 million dollar contract to stay with the Bronx Bombers.  Will this be a good a move for the Yankees?  Will A-Rod show up in the playoffs and and lead the team to the World Series?  Let us know what you think by leaving a comment!  Let your opinion be heard here at Yankeeshomeplate.com !
