JETER TO 2ND, ITS INEVITABLE!


In an earlier post I felt that moving Robbie Cano over to 3rd and moving Jeter over to 2nd base was in the Yankees best interest. This was prior to A-ROD-iculous returning. I felt strongly that what Robbie Cano was lacking at 2nd base was range and I also feel that the second baseman should be a speed guy on the basepaths. If you look around the league I do understand that this is only the case at least 60% of the time.




Now that A-ROD is back I feel that Jeter is eventually gonna need a new position. Right now at the age of 34 he still plays an adequate SS. Every year we hear the same sentiments that Jeter's range to his left (middle of diamond) is regressing. We hear that 20+ hits at the very least could have been prevented if you had a solid defensive SS manning the position. What you lose defensively, you gain offensively. But in 2 years are Yankee fans gonna be concerned about his defense even further?

Maybe, maybe not!



But at the rate we are going it looks very possible. Many TV and newspaper analysts feel that Jeter will eventually wind up at 1st base at the end of his career. There is only one problem with this view point. Jorge Posada may already be at that position, or maybe a Jesus Montero, or one of the other big sluggers in the minors that didn't develop at there initial position. We may even have a power hitting 1st baseman with a gold glove.



So what is left?



2nd base is! With Jeter's plus range to his left and plus arm ranging to his left he would play a tight defense up the middle and put up above avg offensive numbers for a 2nd baseman. What do we do with Cano than? Well in my previous article I suggested packaging him with Melky, and Horne for a Santana. Cano could be a #3 hitter in many MLB lineups right now as his swing is very natural and he should continue to put up 300 avg's, 30+HR's, and 100RBI's. Melky may project as a mini Kirby Puckett. This is the most I would be willing to give up for a Santana, an ace lefty who may pitch at that level for 3-4 more years. It's an awful lot but it makes sense in some circles and we wouldn't have to give up any of our top positional players in the minors as well as our big 3 pitchers. Jeter to 2nd? It can happen! What do you think?

It's ridiculous Jeter to second with limited range and 2nd base is a position with more ground to cover , and with Arod playing by the bag cutting off alot of mid range choppers Jeter is better of staying at SS or maybee LF or 1b, but not second!

Ripken played SS til he was 39? Jeter can move to 3rd when Arod moves to 1st or RF or DH which ever comes first?

Jeter doesnt have the power you usually look for at 1b or at RF
