Latest on Jeter's injury status
Posted: Wednesday April 09, 2008 07:25AM ET
The Yankees will be without Derek Jeter for at least the rest of this series against the Royals, but the Bombers are holding out hope that the captain can return this weekend against the Red Sox. Jeter was held out of all physical activity yesterday, spending most of the day in the trainer's room icing down his strained left quadriceps muscle. Joe Girardi ruled him out for the next two games, so Jeter probably won't do much to test his leg until Thursday at the earliest.

no Arod at short. I think they would avoid the media frenzy that would create. Although I admit it would be interesting to see Arod at SS again.

Report Offensive Commentit might not be a bad idea to put Arod at short and Jeter at third when he returns Many think it should have been that way all along

Report Offensive CommentGuys I am one of A-Rods fan. I to think he is a better SS than Jeter. However, you can't make this move. Jeter isn't going to move to 3rd or any other position. Jeter has been and I think still is a good SS.
Such a move could open a can of worms when Jeter return if A-Rod plays the position and make the plays Jeter can't. While I would love to see A-Rod back at SS, it's best not to do. Besides Jeter has be an overall stud in the most pressure packed city for any sport.

Report Offensive Commentjeter doesnt have the arm for third base. a rod hasnt played shortstop in 5 years. moving them around wont make sense. if jeter goes on the dl, bring up gonzales for fielding and hope the yankees learn to score some runs this season.

Report Offensive CommentYankster, I agree, Jeter doesn't have the arm for 3rd. The only other option for him would be 2nd, but that's obviously not going to happen either. When Jeter comes back he is the starting SS. End of story.

Report Offensive CommentArod will never play short again. He's gotten too big over the last few years & do you want hiim getting hurt/cleated trying to turn a double play ? Then we're really screwed.
Stop this dumb speculation
What's even stupider is moving Jeter to 3rd......

Report Offensive CommentA-Rod is better but it's Jeter's position until he retires, gets Chuck Knoblauch Syndrome, dies or gives it up willingly. It's sorta from the Lou Gehrig School of Yankee Business. I made that up but you should all get my drift. I'm for it.

Report Offensive CommentAn April series against the Sox isnt something worth rushing Jeter back early for. If the Yanks can just beat the Rays this year, they will be okay with losing a season series to the Beanie Babies.
