4,000 in play for Jeter

ain't gonna happen....I remember when Tony Gwynn talked about 4,000...an even 5,000

That's a pipe dream.....MLB.com must get the good stuff.....pass it this way....:)

He'd have to play full time for at least another 4 yrs to accomplish that feat.

I don't think so... playing shortstop for that long is just too gruelling. His body is going to start breaking down sooner than later. He doesn't have enough pop to keep him around as a DH or 1st baseman, so prolonging his career will be tough. My all-time favourite ballplayer though, hands down.

Hmm, remember when if a player started acting his age around 36 or so, and then suddenly was rejuvenated and acted 10 years younger the rumors immediately started? Why do we not hear any rumors now? Seriously, the guy's 38 and playing like he's 28. Why is he so taboo to say anything about?

Because we are only 10 games into the season, jackazz.

I don't think he's going to play long enough to get nearly 900 more hits. For one thing, he's been on 5 World Series winners already, he's made plenty of money. There's no telling at this point when Jete is going to be satisfied and decide to do something else but my guess is it will be sooner rather than later. He's got to be sick of the media too by now.

He's only "started showing his age" last year when he was working on swing changes and working through injury issues. Once he changed his swing back to his original swing and got rested and healthy he was back to doing well.

Jeter's decline has been grossly exagerated.

Gwynn was also fat and slow in his older years....

And he was pressing for the 3,000 hits..he's hitting .340 since he got his 3,000th hit.

Not a Yankees fan.....not one bit. But, Jeter does the game of baseball the way it is supposed

HGH anyone?
