I can see a Derek Jeter-less team in 2011. His contract ends in 2010 and really, his days as a SS are numbered, his offense is declining.

Seriously? You think that the Steinbrenners will let their Captain and most popular player go play somewhere else? Because you can bet that Jeter won’t retire after the 2011 season, and unlike Theo, the Yankees have never taken a hard look at whether an older player should be brought back and at what cost in $$ and years. So I think its wishful thinking that Yankee fans won’t watch the full decline of Derek Jeter through to the end. The pitching and position prospects better come through because in three years or so, the declines of Posada, Jeter, A-Rod and Mo will be unmistakable.

To me, Jeter’s performance has been the elephant in the room. Nobody wants to talk about it, and in a way he’s earned that, but he has been downright terrible. Hopefully he can turn it around, and I’m hopeful he will.

~~~Is it possible to see those numbers, except for those seasons up until this point, rather than for the whole season?~~~

You could probably do it using Baseball Musings Day-by-Day database…running one season at a time, from Opening Day until June 9th, and then putting it all together, for his career, in a spreadsheet or something…if you really had the desire to see that…and the time to do it.

if jorge could have last season at his age at his position, i’m not worried about jeter declining. The season is very young, and besides he missed a week’s worth of AB’s due to getting slammed in the hand. He says it didn’t bother him, but he’s lieing. He wouldn’t let his injury cost the yanks any more wins. It still might have.
