From Dan Graziano:By all available objective statistical measures, Jeter has ranked as one of the worst defensive shortstops in baseball for the past several years.

Mark Feinsand/New York Daily News:Whether the incident on Thursday night was actually responsible for the Yankees’ eventual 2-1 win or not, it was good to see Joe Girardi show some fire in that situation. Through the first seven weeks, Girardi had come out of the dugout a few times to protest a call, but he typically pleaded his case for a few seconds, heard the ump’s response and headed back

Derek Jeter sure keeps busy; shortstop, cologne pitchman, captain of the Yankee clipper, reported arm candy for six ladies on Maxim's Hot 100. That's why pinning him down for "Answer Man" was a pleasant surprise.

Well as you can see from the post directly below this, the Yankees needed Derek Jeter's bat to regain some power. In his first at bat against the Detroit Tiger's Jeremey Bonderman, Jeter began his ascent...and the Yankees won. Coincidence? I think not.
Kat O'Brien/Newsday:Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez are scheduled to be on Good Morning America (that's ABC) Thursday morning perhaps to talk about their involvement in Going To Bat Against Breast Cancer.The show airs from 7am to 9am Thursday morning, but there is no word on when exactly their segment will air
From George A. King III: And yet, at a time when the Yankees needed their captain the most, he has delivered. Since losing Rodriguez, the Yankees are 3-3 going into tonight's game against the Indians at the Stadium. In those six tilts, Jeter is batting a team-high .423 (11-for-26) with three RBIs. With runners in scoring position, he is at .571 (4-for-7) and has driven in two runs.This is what a captain does, he may not be a vocal leader, but on the field, he's as good as they come.Jeter also finds it hard to believe the names he's passing on the all-time hit list: As for going past DiMaggio and having Berra, Mantle, Ruth and Gehrig in his sights, Jeter shakes his head. "In some sense it's like you don't really believe it," said Jeter, who has 2,391 hits - 24 shy of Mantle, 127 behind Rut

It took a mighty cause to get two of baseball's best, Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez, together on a brisk April afternoon in the Bronx. No, it's not because the storied "House That Ruth Built" will be torn down after this, its final season. It is actually something even bigger than that: It's a Mother's Day promotion to fight breast cancer. Good Morning America co-anchor Robin Roberts, shows up at the stadium with a camera crew to film a segment for Going to Bat Against Breast Cancer, a special program started by Major League Baseball and Susan G. Komen for the Cure that generates awareness about breast cancer and will raise funds at baseball games on Sunday, May 11. Standing in the on-deck circle, Roberts tries not to shiver.

Derek Jeter has become the franchise player that the Yankees organization expected him to be. The 2000 season was a breakout year for Jeter as he collected the All-Star MVP and World Series MVP awards. This authentic Yankees home jersey has been hand signed by Jeter and comes complete with a Steiner Sports certificate of authenticity.

EVEN baseball legends get moody sometimes. Yankee shortstop Derek Jeter gave a few kids attitude Saturday and refused to sign autographs after the team lost to the Red Sox. Jeter, who usually signs after games, was in the lobby of the Four Seasons Hotel in Boston when the kids approached him, but he wouldn’t speak [...]
All i keep hearing is how Alex Rodriguez was so much better of a shortstop than Derek Jeter is. I beg to differ and id like to prove the fact that Arod was not a better SS than Jeter.
Lets look at some stats.
Jeter has played in 1832 games at SS compared to Rodriguez’ 1272. [...]
A quadriceps injury can be very problematic, by nature; the New York Yankees know this better than anyone as shortstop Derek Jeter is currently suffering from that malady. Thus far, he has missed four games and is not expected to play at all this weekend. Although Jeter played catch before Friday's game, according to Yankees manager Joe Girardi, it was probably doubtful that Jeter would play before the team left town to play a short series with the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday. Jeter did perform some baseball activities - stretching and playing catch - on the field at Fenway Park; however, the weather in Boston makes a quad injury more difficult to deal with. Even Yankees general manager Brian Cashman says that he expects Jeter for the entire Red Sox series, as well. In the meantime, the Yank
According to Peter Abraham, Yankees GM Brian Cashman was on WEEI today and said that Jeter would likely sit until the Tampa series. And like Peter says, with the forecast looking like it does this move is the right one.
The New York Yankees, according to the Associated Press, will be without star shortstop Derek Jeter for Tuesday's game against the Kansas City Royals with a strained left quadriceps muscle; Jeter injured himself during Monday night's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Prior to receiving treatment, Jeter said that he thought the injury wasn't that serious. The likeliest candidate to replace Jeter for the short-term would be Wilson Betemit, although you cannot rule out the possibility of Alex Rodriguez playing SS.
KANSAS CITY.- Derek Jeter se perderá al menos tres partidos debido a un tirón en el cuadricep izquierdo, pero los Yanquis de Nueva York anunciaron que no tienen planes de colocar a su estelar torpedero en la lista de lesionados. “Probablemente no estará disponible para jugar esta serie”, dijo el martes el manager de los [...]
Jeter will probably miss a week, but what if he misses more games, what if he had to go on the DL? Is it the end of the world for the Yanks? Probably not. Here's an interesting breakdown of the Yanks with and without Jeter over the years, from Dugout Central: Total Games 1,940 1,173 767 .605 With Jeter Appearing 1,818 1,099 719 .605 With Jeter Starting 1,815 1,097 718 .604 Without Jeter Starting 125 76 49 .608 Without Jeter appearing 122 74 48 .607 I'm certainly not suggesting that the Yankees are better off without Jeter, because they're not. But the Yankees aren't dead if Jeter misses more than a week. So get off the ledge Yankees fans.
UPDATE 10:30 PM: Joe Girardi said on the post game that it's going to be "a little bit" till Jeter plays again. Jeter will definitely sit tomorrow. He also said that he doesn't think Jeter will need to be put on the DL, that they'll take it day by day, but it will probably be a week. Jeter had an MRI and it showed a strain.Derek Jeter was removed from tonight's game in the third with a strained left quad. He ran hard when he beat out a double play ball in the first, but he didn't appear to be in that much pain. He also made a play in the field in the second which he appeared fine on. Hopefully this isn't anything major.
From Bryan Hoch:NEW YORK -- Bob Sheppard's voice will be at Yankee Stadium after all for Monday's season opener, the final Opening Day in the ballpark's history -- although he will be heard for just one batter. Sheppard, the Yankees' public address announcer since 1951, will not be able to attend the game as he recovers from health issues that have limited his workload. But shortstop Derek Jeter plans to have Sheppard introduce him for his at-bats, the first of which will come in the bottom of the first inning against the Blue Jays' Roy Halladay. Jeter has had Sheppard's introduction recorded on tape. "It's unfortunate, because one of the first things I looked forward to when I was called up was coming to Yankee Stadium and hearing him say my name," Jeter said on Monday. "I had Bob Sheppar

This article is the same sort of thing as the A-Rod article from Men's Vogue.Here's a couple quotes from the Captain.On being competitive: "You tell me you want to race down the street, I'm going to try to beat you," he says. "My grandmother asks me to race down the street, I'm going to try to beat her. And I'll probably enjoy it." He chuckles at that. "Competitive to a fault, sometimes. When I was younger, my dad used to beat me at everything. You know the showcase at the end of The Price is Right? When I was 5, he used to beat me at the showcase every day before afternoon kindergarten. I'm 5 years old! I don't know the prices!"On going to sleep early:"I used to laugh when my parents went to bed after 60 Minutes, but now I'm just like them," he says. "I say to myself, 'This is your job.'

Yankee Derek Jeter says he would not be opposed to an HGH test for players. Jeter told Bloomberg Radio over the weekend he would not take issue with a test for Human Growth Hormone, especially since he and his fellow Yankees have blood drawn every year for Spring physicals. Jeter says he does not belive testing for banned substances is an invasion of a player's privacy. Major League Baseball Players Association union head Don Fehr has said he is against blood testing of Major League players for steroids and other substances like HGH.
So we can now add a new Wharton statistcal measure of fielding prowess to the hordes of measures rating Derek Jeter as a below average fielding short stop. Let's assume for a moment that they are correct - Jeet is among the worst SS in all of MLB; my question is - what then?As our Captain, face of the franchise and clubhouse leader, Jeter is not about to get embarrassed by the Yanks. Additionaly, even if the Yanks wanted to tell him to move, where would we move him to?Second base - taken for the next 10 yearsThird base - we're not gonna swap DJ and Arod for 2 reasons...first, that would be a huge slap to Jeet, and second, Arod has become a very good 3BFirst base - after 2008, Texiera will be there for 5 or 6 yearsLeft field - possibly, but both Damon and Hmat are signed thru 2009I guess Je
New York state tax officials have settled their case against Derek Jeter. Tax officials had claimed that Jeter should have paid three years of taxes as a New York state resident. The New York Daily News says the case has been settled.Terms of the settlement aren't being disclosed. NY officials claimed Jeter maintained a residence in Manhattan and should have been taxed as a state resident from 2001 to 2003. Jeter said he was a Florida resident and didn't owe New York taxes. A judge said it was up to the state to prove that Tampa was no longer Jeter's home.

Jeter is about to finish up arguably his worst season. What happened?
A superficial look at Derek Jeter's overall stats makes it appear that this season is on the low side of his career norms, but not terrible. After all, how bad can a guy be if he bats .314/.385/.431?
By more advanced metrics though this may be Jeter's worst season. According to Baseball Prospectus' BRAR and BRAA metrics,
If our sources are correct, it appears that Jessica Alba may have contracted genital herpes from Derek Jeter. Jessica Alba’s assistant at the time she was dating Jeter has made claims that she had to replenish her genital herpes medication (Valtrex) prescription on a regular basis. From LARagMag:
Jessica Alba(before she was Jessica Alba) used to date Derek Jeter, the serial celebrity dater, who plays for the NY Yankees. Well, our source who worked for one of their camps, had to refill her Valtrex prescription for her on a regular basis! Guess who she got it from…that’s right…dirty Derek Jeter.
You know what this means don’t YOU?!! All of his other famous relationships could have contracted the STD TOO! Derek’s most famous sexual conquest include Mariah Carey, Jessica Alba, Vanessa Minnillo and most recently Jessica Biel. Which means JT could have it AAAHHH!!
Man, if this is true how batshit crazy/hilarious/awesome is that? Imagine if you’re Justin Timberlake,

What would have happened if the Astros drafted Derek Jeter as Hal Newhouser insisted?? I try to quantify what would, and could, have occurred. Those readers who are even vaguely interested in baseball history undoubtedly know Hal Newhouser. He was a back-to-back MVP as a pitcher during wartime in the 1940s, and is a Hall of Famer (of marginal merit in my view). You can click on the link for his Baseball-reference.com page.After his playing career, Newhouser became a scout, eventually for the Astros. In the lead up to the 1992 draft, Newhouser insisted that the Astros draft Jeter. Newhouser, in fact, apparently discovered Jeter. The Astros passed, drafting Phil Nevin instead. Newhouser was so incensed that he quit. Nevin played 18 games for the Astros, before being traded to the Tigers and having a creditable career. So, what would have happened to the Astros had they drafted Jeter?? Yankee fans will no doubt confirm one of Newhouser's key bits of scouting on Jeter; namely that he was
I'll be the first to admit that I hate the New York Yankees and almost all of their players, coaches, fans, and affiliates. With the recent rumors of an apparent rift between the two star infielders I thought it would be fun to play a game with it.Ok, so you can only pick one guy and here's the deal. You are starting your own team and can pick one to be your centerpiece. One guy to build your whole team around. Take everything into consideration; I'll go first.My GuyI'm going to take Derek Jeter as my pick. There is no doubt that A-Rod may wind up hitting 500 hrs in his career and has more power to his bat but given the criteria of the game I'm going with Jeter. If I am starting my own team there is possibly no other guy in MLB that I'd rather build my team around than Jeter. Here are some of the reasons that I'd go with Jeter over A-Rod:He's a great leader on and off the fieldGreat defensive player at the heart of the infieldComes drastically cheaperCommands much more respect
Ok, my mother knows I am a baseball fan and adore the Baltimore Orioles, and her extent of baseball knowledge does not go farther than that.She figures she'd get me something baseball related...She got me cologne. She got me ... Derek Jeter's Driven Cologne!Upon opening the gift, it was an internal reaction I never had before. I looked and looked and told my mom thanks, but she didn't understand that my X-mas will be a downer now.Being an O's fan, especially after '96, this goes further than getting the bad sweater or hard fruitcake. This to me is bad, yes, it's only liquid and chemicals, and my mother didn't know what it represents, but it was tough accepting the gift. It's out of love and my mother was being thoughtful and Jeter is a good guy, but it's what the gift represents -- the New York Yankees!However, I got some courage and opened the box which stored the cologne. I sprayed it and took a whiff, and actually is not that bad. It has a masculine tint to it, as the smell
The A-Rod Saga, We Cover It So You Don't Have to… Well, as we are into a new week and yet closer to the 2007 season, the Yankees have made news once again. Former friends, but current teammates, Derek Jeter and A-Rod, as well all know have had a big thaw in their relationship since A-Rod gave an infamous interview to Esquire Magazine several years ago. From AP: Jeter, the Yankees' captain, has distanced himself since a 2001 Esquire article in which A-Rod said "Jeter's been blessed with great talent around him" and "he's never had to lead"… "You go into New York, you wanna stop Bernie (Williams) and (Paul) O'Neill," A-Rod was quoted as saying. "You never say, 'Don't let Derek beat you.' He's never your concern." Here's what Alex said in response to reporters asking about the issue this morning: More from the AP: "The reality is there's been a change in the relationship over 14 years and, hopefully, we can just put it behind us," Rodriguez said. "You
Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter have broken up. That will be one tricky divorce settlement. If you thought Shawn Chacon was unstoppable last year, just wait until you see his secret weapon in 2007: arthritis. Welcome the newest pro sports organization...the Pillow Fight League. Pittsburgh was rumored to get a franchise, but our local officials can't put together a plan for a suitable Pillow Fighting arena. There's another new league starting up...the Israel Baseball League. The Pirates are predicted to finish last in that league too. Jack Wilson and Jose Castillo met privately to discuss Jack's comments a few weeks back. Jose basically said he doesn't care, and I'm not surprised. I don't think he really cares about much of anything. Ron Cook says PSU basketball is abysmal, but does anyone care? Ron obviously has never met board regular Adam. Dominic Rhodes got a DUI. He put some lives in danger, sure. But the important question is how this will affect the Colts backfield next se
from the NY Daily News... boy, do I love the NY Press...Well, A-Rod had his mug plastered all over America yesterday, as he affirmed one of baseball's worst kept secrets - he does not get along with Derek Jeter. At this point, he just keeps need to keep his mouth shut and just play ball.I found this quote really weird: "You go from sleeping over at somebody's house five days a week and now you don't sleep over," Rodriguez said. "It's not that big of a deal."But without him, would the sport be any interesting?

Expect a review of the San Diego Padres today at some point, and a few more African-American player profiles. More news from around baseball… Jeter's Turn to Speak: Maintaining they have a fine relationship on the field and in the clubhouse, Derek Jeter resolutely refused to discuss the deterioration of his friendship with Alex Rodriguez away from the ballpark. One day after A-Rod finally acknowledged the pair no longer are best friends, Jeter sat in the same first-base dugout at Legends Field and was asked to respond. Jeter said: "I don't have a rift with Alex," the captain said Tuesday. "We go out there. We work together. This is our fourth year to be playing together. It's annoying to hear about it all the time. Everyone assumes they know what our relationship is. Everyone assumes -- they see us on the field, if one person gives another one a look, it's a story. If we're at opposite ends of the bench, people say it's a story." Who cares - just play ball! This
