Sky Stays Blue, Gravity Still Works, And Derek Jeter Still Playing Shortstop
ESPN - If 36-year-old Derek Jeter doesn’t last at shortstop for the length of his new four-year contract, New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman thinks Jeter is best suited for a switch to center field. “I like corner outfielders and corner infielders who have power, so for me, if he’s ever gonna move, it’s probably gonna be a Robin Yount situation. But we don’t have to deal with it at this point,” Cashman said Tuesday. “We’ll deal with it when we have to.” This offseason, almost immediately after Jeter signed a three-year, $51 million deal with an option for a fourth year, speculation centered on whether the longtime Yankee could play shortstop for the life of the contract. Cashman said that he would “be surprised” if Jeter stays there for the duration, “but that doesn’t mean it’s not possible. I know he’s working hard to put himself in that position,” Cashman told WFAN’s Mike Francesa at a breakfast appearance at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York. “Jeter’s our shortstop, period,” Cashman added.
Gotta love the sports news cycle in late January huh? Jeter’s the shortstop for now? You don’t say! What are you gonna tell me next, that beef from Taco Bell isn’t really beef? Look there’s been talk about moving Jeter to the outfield for years now. Yeah it will happen eventually. Maybe not this year. Maybe not the next year. But by the time this new contract is up, you have a better chance of seeing Jim Abbott at short than you do of Derek Jeter. Because I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, but at this point in his career Derek Jeter has about as much range as a baby fart. But as long as Eduardo Nunez is the next best SS option and until A-Rod Tanya-Hardings Jeter, you know where El Capitan is moving to? Fucking nowhere.
P.S. This comment nailed the Bartolo Colon signing. I knew the infidels down there would be good for something one of these days. Mazel Tov Gas Man. And waddup BlackDude.

fucking guy has more chins than pitch choices….awesome move.
tHEgASmAN is pretty funny dude, kills the comments on LALA land

Are you mad that theo have been busy creating an all fucking madden team of baseball now? While Cashman has done shit ? i predict 160 wins for the sox this year, have fun in 3rd place
but all joking aside, i think we win 125 games this season, that is how stacked we are.
why not just swap cano and jeter??
food for thought

Keep dreamin BD
i went to Cano’s first game ever, it was in 2005 at yankee stadium, vs the Sox, i was sitting right next to some die hard yankees fan, it was funny, everyone around me was like “oh who is this bum?” blah blah, just funny, NYC fans are the worst in the nation
PS, if anyone every compared me to Allen I , i would think its a compliment, dude use to slay chicks like it was dungeons and dragons

PS- Anyone seen Scott? I guess I would have killed myself too if I was a Yankees fan right about now.
Seriously i hope hes jumped off the brooklyn bridge by now so we won’t have to see any more of his shitty blogs. Hes like the Allen Iverson of blogging.
@youwillnevergethtis, are you serious? are we not the best team in baseball now? we just fucking dropped the hiroshima Atom bomb on MLB
Yes your team is really good and AGon is one of the best players in the league, but I’ve seen it before on paper. You replaced spots that you were already strong at last season in 1st and 3rd(moving youk). You lost Vmart and Beltre and replaced them with Agon and Crawford. A very good team, but 100 wins is pushing it.
the sox had 89 wins, (lots of injuries) and tampa had 96, they just lost their best player and we added AGON, dude you must be a hater, cause we have everyone coming back healthy, its a fucking wrap dude, just give the sox the AL pennant
how about the rest of team in the MLB? as far as wins?
Dude I’m a Yankee fan so I hate the sox yes, but I can’t hand over shit before the season starts. I like it much better when shit is competitive all year instead of one team running away with it, so we’ll let it play out. The sox have the best team on paper and in reality should run away with the AL, but there are no guarantees.
yes for all we know the sox could get hurt again, sucks but true, admit the yankees got played by Cliff Lee, he basically fucked u guys in the free agency market, toyed wit u bitches til it was too late, almost feel bad for you fuckers
too bad CC cant pitch every game
Yankees suck
Jeter Swallows
if jeter puts his finger in the ear hole of his helmet one more time, i am putting a fastball on his fucking chin.
^^^ awesome name danny boy
BlackDude, the Redsox said the same fucking thing about Pedroria. Redsox fans are the most delusional fan base in the country, you guys are such a joke.
Fishy_Fingers
dude that NEVER happened you clown, did you make that up Tom Jackson?
go mighty mouse! MVP mofo
Jerry Remy was openly questioning why the Redsox brought him up during one of the games. If Remy was questioning him imagine what Boston fans were saying.
Also, Pedrorias MVP season is by far the worst in Major League history, not even close.
BlackDude is EVERYTHING that is wrong with the Boston sports fan. Literally everything.
I’m from Boston. I have a handful of brutally annoying, completely bandwagon, douchebag friends who just embarrass the fuck out of me because I’m associated with them in the realm of Boston sports fans. BlackDude is all of them rolled into one.
Cue a brutal reply…
Christ, i hope Jeter plays shortstop, do you know how many base hits to left field the Red Sox will get with Moses playing SS??? The news keeps getting better for the Sox in the 2011 season.
The only question I have about Pedroia is how many kids he’s diddled

Truer words never spoken. I really enjoy the banter with smart red sox fans. ones who will tell you they have a really damn good team this year but also realize they did lose beltre and victor. there were injuries last year, but the idiots like BD who think you’ve won the world series in january because you signed two guys are just laughable. Yeah, the yanks have a shitty rotation and some things to figure out. but you haven’t watched baseball in the last 100 years if you’re counting them out before the magic number for the red sox is 0.

Awesome.
also tampa when the yankees pay pujols 2081204201 million to be our DH i will laugh at you forever.
Yankee fans don’t realize that EVERY fan in America that has a team that plays against the $200+ Million Yankees wants Jeter at short. And hitting at the top of the lineup. He is a statue in the field and put up an OPS+ of 90 (that’s far below average for you Yankee fans who don’t know stats).
But hey, at least you’ve got ARod patrolling 3rd base until his 43 at $30 Mill/season. Good stuff.
pd4, sorry kid, I don’t see it happening. We all want St. Albert to stay in St. Louis and hopefully he does. But if not, he’s going to the Cubs. Read up, son.
really not worried about all this chitta chatta. it’s all gonna be good
Whatwhat
dude seriously, youre not a boston fan, i dont fucking bandwagon mofo, just telling you how it is
pd4 , dude youre a yankees fan, nuff said you cunt
Tampa, whats good buddy
Pujos has class, wouldn’t join the likes of the pinstripes, he rather be in boston, big papi is done after this year, but he will get us 32 HR’s and bring home the world series, thanks
Blackdude, maybe you and Tampa Jack should meet up and premature ejaculate to your sick roster. Once the season starts you’ll just be able to use your tears so you won’t need each other anymore.
And say what you want about Jeter, but the man gets World Series rings like its his fucking job.
You’ve obviously never smelled a baby fart–they have unbelievable range!
