The thing I find funny is "Who plays there if not Jeter?" Let's say, when A-Rod signed, they moved Jeter. A-Rod "outgrew" the position in a couple of years. The Yankees haven't been able to cherrypick players for years. We saw what they ran out there last year. He's been their best option for a long time. And, quite honestly, I don't think being the next Yankee SS is such a great thing for a career. You don't want to be the guy that replaces the guy. You wanna be the next guy.
