He is known as one of the best shortstops in the game today. No I am not talking about Omar Vizquel, I'm talking about Mr. November himself Derek Sanderson Jeter. This guy has proved day in and day out. on and off the field that he is clearly the best at what he does. Now is this guy in it for the money? My personal opinion is no he knows how he plays and knows how much he is worth. Yes, I might add that he is getting a little older but the guy can still play with the best of them. It has been said if Jeter leaves he one be on of the greatest Yankees to depart the organization over money.
Now if I'm one of George Steinbrenner's sons I am making sure that I bring this future Hall of Famer back into my organization or should I say back into The House That Jeter Built. I'm only saying that because The House That Ruth Built was torn down. The guy is 72 hits away from the magic milestone of 3,000, and is, as of today, a certain first-ballot, A-list Hall of Famer. Some of the latest news is that Derek Jeters agent Casey Close has compared Jeter to Babe Ruth because of how much he means to the New York Yankees franchise. On ESPN.com they say that Jeter finds himself caught in the middle of a perfect storm comprised of three components: 1) the balance between paying a player for what he has done versus for what he will do; 2) the death of George Steinbrenner; and 3) an increased reliance on statistical analysis by the Yankees' front office.
I'm going to leave you with this question. What has Derek Jeter done for the New York Yankees organization?

ReplyDeleteClean up your grammar a little bit andre but you bring up a very good point. It's sad to admit but in today's game its becoming harder and harder to tell who is in it "for the love of the game" or "for the love of money.
