Does he strike you as the kind of guy who wants to be less than solid at his position? He doesn't strike me as being that. He comes off like a very prideful guy. My guess is he remains at SS in '09 for the simple fact that the only best free agent options after him, Renteria and Cabrera, will be too old to consider as replacements, and the Yanks will have to accept o.k. defense from Jeter. I will say I just can't see him at SS in 2010 though. KurticusMaximus

If the Yanks got Cabrera to take over 3B in '10 but signed Texiera for 1B, moved Jeter to LF, and moved Matsui to DH in '09, where does A-Rod play? I'd think he'd be too young to be the DH in '10. I'm guessing Texiera would move to DH to make room for A-Rod at 1B in '10 (Matsui let go after '09), unless Matsui has such a good '09 at DH, you keep him there for another year or two and have A-Rod go to RF, but would A-Rod have the speed to play the OF then? He'd be 35. Nice problems to have but it's gonna be interesting. Bottom line is A-Rod and Jeter will ultimately have to move from their current positions and find new ones.

I'm sure he'll be moved eventually, but I can't see it happening any time soon, unless he becomes incapable of playing the position. The fact is, he's Jeter, and he is still getting Gold Gloves, so there's not really much motivation for the organization to push the matter. I think, until he basically volunteers, he's staying there. Re:Jeter-

He's 33 and already bad now -he won the last three Gold Gloves at SS by mere attrition i.e. Omar Vizquel left the A.L. for S.F. and A-Rod became the Yanks 3B because Jeter wasn't moving there from SS. They should move Jeter to LF and Matsui to DH after next year (Giambi let go for Mark Texiera at 1B in '09). The problem is who's at SS in '09? A-Rod would be too old ot play there. Moving Cano there would be risky -why fix what ain't broke (him doing a decent job at 2B with room to improve)? Edgar Renteria and Orlando Cabrera are the only notable free agent shortstops after '08. Renteria is having a solid 2007 but what will he be like in 2009 let alone '08 to warrant signing him? Ditto for Orlando Cabrera who is a nice player but like Renteria, old for the position come '09 (mid-30s) thus probably won't be as good with the glove then as he is now, and has little power. Also you think either is taking just a one-year deal? 'Doubt that, so forget them. Even if they were as good as they are then, what if they tank 2010 on? Too risky. How good is Alberto Gonzalez? Good enough to take over SS from Jeter and bat ninth in '09? He'd be 25 then.
