I think shaving his eyebrows would help more.

And the great Womack Mystery Tour continues. Torre trips the light fantastic and we wait until the hit wears off.

That being said, I’m just one of many fans who believe that Jeter would be an ideal left or maybe even center fielder, ala Robin Yount.

I don’t think he’ll volunteer to make that move however, and so long as Torre is managing, it will not happen. Jeter would have to step forward. Some people might criticize Jeter and say he’s not being a true team guy by staying at short. On the other hand, a guy like Jeter has gotten where he is by an amazing belief in himself and his abilities. He is an extremely proud guy. I just don’t see him looking at himself as hurting the team defensively.

Now, that shouldn’t ultimately be his choice. He doesn’t need to be Mr. Golly-shucks, I’ll do whatever I can do to help, Skip. This isn’t Super Joe McEwing we are talking about. But if the Yanks are begining a losing trend, you have to treat a situation like replacing Jeter with Rodriguez with a lot of sensitivity. By the time they get around to it, Rodriguez and Jeter’s defensive abilities will probably have declined significantly anyway.

I think that Mel will go. This team is so dysfunctional it makes me ill. I was watching the game last night wishing for a Paul O’Neil to blast either a home run or a water cooler. They seem to be a batch of spare parts, very expensive ones mind you, with a few outstanding players (Jeter, Mo, Sheff come to mind). It will be very interesting to see if they can put any consistency together.
