A-ROD: Not an Option til May

It looks like one of the most popular RTTC Selections will not be an option until around WEEK 8. According to CNNSI.COM Rodriguez had arthroscopic surgery Monday to repair torn cartilage in his right hip, and doctors said they found nothing that would keep him from returning to the lineup in May. Do you take him once he is ready, or wait a few weeks?? This is the guessing game known as the RTTC.
