Canseco Co-Author Quits
The new Jose Canseco book hit a road bump: Canseco's co-author, Sports Illustrated writer Don Yaeger just quit the project.
The book already has a publisher and was to be titled "Vindicated", but Yaeger decided to pass on the project over what he said was a lack of content to work with. According to the report, Yaeger said Canseco does not have the goods on Yankees star Alex Rodriguez that was hinted at in an earlier interview.

"I'm passing," Yaeger told the Daily News. "I had a chance to review the Jose Canseco (material) that he provided me. I don't think there's a book there. I don't know what they're going to do. I don't think he's got what he claims to have, certainly doesn't have what he claims to have on A-Rod. "There's no meat on the bones."

Canseco's lawyer, Robert Saunooke, told the newspaper that the book would move forward regardless. "I'm not sweating it if Don passes," Saunooke said in an interview with the Daily News. "We had some terms of the contract concerning movie rights that we had to address which pushed the manuscript date back. But we're still moving forward."
That's good news for A-Rod...unless, of course, Canseco can find another co-author (doesn't he mean ghostwriter?) who's willing to write a book based on the facts that Yaeger found so unimpressive.
