If Jeter really cared more about helping the team than feeding his already-bloated ego, he would retire.<br /><br />The so-called Captain could take a cue from a Yankee with true class and dignity, Joe DiMaggio, by simply adapting the Jolter's own retirement speech: <br /><br />"I told you fellows last spring I thought this would be my last year. I only wish I could have had a better year. But even if I hit .350, this would have been the last year for me. I feel I have reached the stage where I can no longer produce for my ball club, my manager, my teammates, and my fans the sort of baseball their loyalty to me deserves. I've played my last game of ball."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-85241872749315522142014-01-12T13:17:13.221-05:002014-01-12T13:17:13.221-05:00I don't think Derek's an employee the way ...I don't think Derek's an employee the way the clubhouse toilet-cleaner is. I think he's more of a contractor. Plus, one word from him and Yankee fans would descend on the Yankee Stadium office suites and rip the limbs off everything in a suit. I know I would. So the brass have to be careful.Stanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17758839786688249648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-80505724889590256152014-01-12T11:43:50.530-05:002014-01-12T11:43:50.530-05:00excuse my ignorance but isn't Jeets an employe...excuse my ignorance but isn't Jeets an employee? I don't get it. If your boss tells you to do something, you do it or you find another job. If Jeter finds himself on the lineup card playing 3B, he plays 3B. He's our Captain. A team leader should also be a team player. Just pencil him in at third. If he refuses to paly and pulls a "Posada", so be it. How he handles the transition will tell us something about the man.KDnoreply@blogger.com
