RiverAvenueBlues.com, one of the best Yankees blogs on the net, had an interesting take on the release date of the controversial book on Alex Rodriguez.

'Selena Roberts, authorized biographer of All Things A-Rod, has delayed the street date of her upcoming tell-all. Ostensibly, the delay is due to the fact that she ?need[ed] more time for the book.?

But who is Harper Collins trying to fool? Any reporter worth his or her salt would have noticed that the new release date ? May 13 ? ensures that A-Rod will either be off the disabled list or on the verge of being activated when this supposedly explosive book arrives. I certainly understand the business rationale behind this one, but talk about a blatant marketing ploy.'
