Jeter Does Not Have The Balls To Leave NY

**BEANTOWNJIM** · 11-24-10, 06:37 AM

There isnt a big market for 36 year old slow shortstops and he cant be a d.h so what can he do he will never be a 300 hitter again

the yankees are being way to generous here jjgold is right he is a 5 million a year player and so is big poppi here in boston

**Lincoln73** · 11-24-10, 06:48 AM

He has to make a boatload in nyc endorcements that would be out the door if he is suddenly a cleveland indian or something.

**crustyme** · 11-24-10, 07:01 AM

with all this talk about his supposed decline he still scored 111 runs (highest in 4 seasons) and had the same number of hits as 2 seasons ago.

spankees dont deserve a class act like jeter. i hope he signs with the tigers or angels and gets his 3000th hit against them.

**Boner_18** · 11-24-10, 07:08 AM

Yeah, he'll stay. Good play by Cashman.

**Ace_of_Spades** · 11-24-10, 07:51 AM

Yankees should let him go, though i fear they will then turn their attention to Crawford.

**big joe 1212** · 11-24-10, 08:08 AM

Nobody else would even give him 10 million a year!

**jjgold** · 11-24-10, 08:16 AM

Yankee owner made a great point yesterday that Jeter was paid tons and tons of money his whole career and they owe him nothing.

Jeter was never really fan friendly with autographs, kids, etc

He is a money hungry cheap type of guy, I always though he was a phony

**crustyme** · 11-24-10, 08:40 AM

if aubrey huff can get $11m per and victor martinez can get $13m per then jeter can get $15m.

**jjgold** · 11-24-10, 09:19 AM

jeter will take 15 million from yanks

He thought yanks were going to cave in an they are not

**DMB40** · 11-24-10, 09:41 AM

jeter will have a bounce back year and bat over 300. Watch..

**dherd** · 11-24-10, 11:18 AM

leaving would cost him brazillions in endorsements not to mention mega brazillions in side business deals.

**jjgold** · 11-24-10, 11:48 AM

He is not getting tons of endorsements anymore

Those days are over

I think he could have a much better offensive year or two left in him....but his defense will get worse.

**brxbmbers42** · 11-24-10, 12:55 PM

Its all about the money arod got and when he is 42 he will be making 25 million. Jeter is a petty insecure prick in my opinion. Fukk him. Let him walk. Go play for baltimore DJ. Thanks for the memories.

**venice2222** · 11-24-10, 01:11 PM

No way he gets a better offer.

**SHADYLANKY** · 11-24-10, 01:17 PM

When NY gave ARod that extension they were just throwing money away. Almost no hitters are any good after 38-39. Some pitchers pull it off. If Jeter wants to get paid big then sign a 1 year deal for $15M and put up the numbers he did 2 years ago. But he still isn't getting a 6 year deal. But he could try and get $20M or maybe a little more for 2-3. But if his numbers continue down he will be getting $10M if he is lucky. Why should a team do a 10 yr deal ever?

**jjgold** · 11-24-10, 01:26 PM

Jeter has no strength anymore for mlb standards, can he still be an effective player?? It is possible but he is not worth 15 million per year.

**brxbmbers42** · 11-24-10, 01:29 PM

The yanks obviously overpaid tremendously for arod. But it was done and its over. Jeter has to get over that. Another thing jeter has to understand is that as far as on field ability is concerned he is not on the same planet as arod. Its not even close. He is not that type of player. Ok arod did steroids. But the guy is still going to go down as one of the 10 greatest players ever. And if the steroid thing hadn't been made public probably would of retired the greatest player ever.

**will2survive** · 11-24-10, 02:58 PM

Are you kidding me JJ? Derek Jeter isn't about stats,he's about winning.He's a proven winner and a role model for children.He's getting older.Of course his skills are diminishing.He's going to get 3000 hits and has the respect of all of the Yankee greats.Derek Jeter is all about the intangibles in every sense of the word.How about when he dove into the stands versus Boston? Was it about the money?BS How about his heads up defensive play where he retrieved the baseball versus Oakland and backhanded it to the catcher at a pivotal moment? If there were more Derek Jeter's in this world,the world would be a better place.

**BigSpoon** · 11-24-10, 03:22 PM

The Red Sox should sign him to play 3B if Beltre leaves out of spite.

**stealthyburrito** · 11-24-10, 04:07 PM

jeter just needs to take that offer.

no rational person would sign him for more then that, he simply isn't worth it, especially because he is not an icon in any other organization.

**Doug** · 11-24-10, 04:36 PM

baseball is supposed to be a business. Jeter gets over-valued because it is good business for the Yanks to retain him ( at least for a year).

He isn't a great player ( anymore). His "Gold Glove" this year is a farce.

I think the fans of the NYY would be willing to let him go, actually.

Realistically, DJ is...

a slap hitter with below average range but he has hustle in his game and is a smart baserunner. Being somewhat of a sex symbol/ playboy type doesn't hurt to get some female asses seated, either !

All that is lost if he leaves the NYY.

Maybe he could change to playing 3B or LF....that's about it ! He ain't, DH material.

I'd give the guy 10M guaranteed for one year, with clauses based on performance that could reach 40M.

I agree 100 %

The Yanks messed up on the A Rod deal now Jeter thinks he is entitled to a similar blunder. sorry Jetes

**Metalhead** · 11-24-10, 06:25 PM

The problem is Jeter thinks he's still a gold glove winning, .310 hitting shortstop, who has alot left in the tank. The Yankees think he's a 36 year old mediocre shortstop, who is on the decline.

Jeter has spent so many years watching the Yankees sign ridiculous contracts that he has lost all perspective. He's probably thinking 'but I'm Derek Jeter'. These aren't George's Yankees though, they're Hal's.

Since when is Derek Jeter a class act?

The moment he did that, he lost his class.

**KENDRY** · 11-26-10, 05:43 AM

Jeter is a has been. Any other team should give him 5 mil 2yrs

**gryfyn1** · 11-26-10, 06:28 AM

The only question now is how spiteful the sides will be --

is it possible that Jeter will take and equal or lesser deal just to go elsewhere, on the odd chance that one pops up.

Will the Yankees eventually try to make it look better by adding some fake money to the deal, like a team option for 17 million on the fourth year.

Odds are it a Manny/Dodgers issue, when Manny acted like the 2/45 deal was an insult and "tested the market", only to find the deal was already well above what he deserved.

**PittsburghPlayer** · 11-26-10, 06:35 AM

Jeter is not going anywhere. I would love to see continued contentious negotiations that pulls apart the fabric of the orginazation, but in the end, I am thinking they work it out. Both sides want/need one another.

Don`t know what gave you the impression I am pissed. How the Bucs perform has nothing to do with anything I wrote, your (an) ASSumption is incorrect.

**jjgold** · 11-26-10, 07:51 AM

There are tons of guys in the minors that can do what Jeter does now

Yanks need a young Latin shortstop

**joe blow** · 11-26-10, 10:37 AM

U got it wrong...The yankees don't have the balls to let him walk

**brxbmbers42** · 11-26-10, 10:49 AM

Joe Blow where do u get the yankees not have the balls to let him walk. Cashman released a public statement telling him if the offer we made isn't satisfactory then shop around for something better. And if you find something take it. How is that the yankees not having the balls to let him walk. They humiliated the guy with that press release.
