MLB.com: A-Rod made a mistake, and knows he still has room to learn

NEW YORK -- As the ball came off Manny Ramirez's bat, Alex Rodriguez knew he had a decision to make.

The initial thought for the third baseman was to throw to Tony Womack at second, trying to start a game-ending double play.

Then he bobbled the ball, ending that opportunity.

Now, A-Rod knew he could pick up the ball and fire home, where Bill Mueller would be forced out for the second out of the inning, leaving the Yankees one run ahead of the Red Sox and just one Mariano Rivera out away from a season-opening sweep of the defending World Series champions.

Then he bobbled the ball again, allowing Mueller to score the tying run.

Of course he does(have to adjust) but he is still a gold glove caliber fielder. I look for a big year at bat and in the field after his year of adjustment.
