Means the replacements are playing harder to earn a spot on the team or that since he is a great guy his teamates play hard to make his absense go unoticed or that the other teams don't take the Yankees serious when he doesn't play and slip up.
I can come up with a dozen reasons but I'm not that bored yet.
They only rest him against crappy teams and have been running slightly good in those games?

Doesnt mean anything in my opinion. Too small of a sample size.

It means you can take any stat (again) and massage it to look anyway you want (though it is interesting, LOL).
Highly doubt throwing a shutout yesterday has anything to do with him playing.

AMAZING Stat....What does this mean for his legacy?
It means nothing other than a odd coincidental stat. There's not an argument that can be made that the Yankees are a better team without A-Rod in the lineup.
