They are both going to be frequently injured and they are both playing extremely demanding positions that will increase the chance of injury. <br /><br />Once Ryan is back, Jeter has to be moved to 3B, 1B, DH, and occasional back up SS. Solarte and Johnson will end up playing a lot of 2B. I'm sure Roberts will be gone with a back injury. Hopefully Texeira can play. If not, then I'd like to see Jeter at third, Johnson at first, Ryan at short, and Solarte at second. <br /><br />The Yankees have to decide if they want to compete or put on a show. At this point in his career, Jeter is not a viable option as a full time SS. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
