08:11 AM ET 02.06 | In Tampa, Derek Jeter started the week taking some swings off a tee and fielding a few dozen slow ground balls. "I probably won't be out there playing in a game the first game," Jeter said of the Feb. 23 spring-training opener against the Braves in Orlando. "I guess we have to sit down with our trainers and doctors to see what our plan is when I start playing games." But he remains confident he is heading in the right direction. "You've got to progress and I've been progressing just fine," Jeter said. ... His primary focus remains being back at shortstop for the regular-season opener against the the Red Sox. "The goal is April 1 when we start our season, so I'm right where I need to be," Jeter said.

Yeah ... but how many steps did he lose because of the injury? Ankles are never the same after being broken.

I remember when ARod first came to the Yankees and my mom, from day 1, said she didn't like him because he said he was better than Jeter.
And, I always said "But, mom, Arod is better."
She would just give me that disdainftul stare moms have and I knew no matter what I said she would never agree with me.
Now, just last night we were talking about ARod and the the same issue came up and I said "When he said that he was better than Jeter, but, now... who knows because he was probably always juicing, so, maybe Jeter really was the better player all along."
Funny, how that **** works out sometimes.
Never the biggest Jeter fan in my life but I would have always found a spot for him on my team. He would play hard and just seemed to have a certain common sense approach to playing the game. And he always seemed to give respect to the game and to his elders in the game as well as outside ofthe game.
Parents taught him well.

Agree 100% - he plays well, respects the game, and has respect for himself when not between the lines..... I have the utmost respect for Jeter...... no signs of juicing... just a hardnosed ball player....
