When Derek Jeter returned from the disabled list on July 4, there was some concern about whether his re-installation atop the lineup would short circuit a Yankees offense that had scored 5.7 per game in his absence. In addition, there was speculation about whether Joe Girardi might drop the Hall of Fame shortstop down in the […]

Derek Jeter didn’t just join the 3,000 hit club. He broke the door down. By driving a 3-2 breaking pitch deep into the left field seats, the Yankees’ shortstop not only became the 28th player to reach the milestone, but the first to do it in pinstripes. In addition to his historic homer, Jeter added […]

Sticking Around: Jeter Celebrates SS Record with a Revival

Posted in Baseball, MLB, Yankee History, Yankees, tagged on May 9, 2011 | 2 Comments »

For most of his career, Derek Jeter has been a mainstay atop the Yankees lineup. Since the start of the 1998 season, the Captain has started only one game lower than third in the batting order, and that time he was called upon to hit cleanup. That’s why the idea of shifting Jeter back toward […]

Hypocrisy Overwhelms Pending Jeter Bio and Initial Reaction to It

Derek Jeter is a human being. That seems to be the lesson derived from the New York Post’s preview of Ian O’Connor’s forthcoming book about Jeter, which will focus on the Captain’s relationship with Alex Rodriguez. Weaving Arod into the narrative has almost become a prerequisite for publishing a baseball book, so it’s not surprising […]

Debate About Jeter’s Slot in the Lineup Has Been Out of Order

Posted in Baseball, MLB, Roster Analysis, Yankees, tagged on March 18, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

(In addition to appearing at The Captain’s Blog, this post is also being syndicated at TheYankeeAnalysts.)
