Anyone read the article in the NY Times? Jeter's plan is to play 10 more years and transition to DH. He wants to prolong his career by avoiding the wear and tear that comes from playing SS.

Spring is in the air, the pitchers and catchers have reported, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow and Manky's Jeter mancrush is in full effect. All is right with the world.

If Pete Rose had done the cowardly thing and switched to DH, he would have finished with 5,000 hits.

I bet he wouldn't have made it to 5,000.
 
Manky, you stalker-ish idiot! You're referring to a convo Jetes had with Michael 7-8 years ago.

I hear A-Rod has the number of a guy in Miami who can help him out.

Rose didn't hit well enough to DH. Besides, he would've had to resign as Reds manager and go to the AL even if he was able to hit.

No, this was just in the NY Times a few days ago.

Very few players - at any age - are capable of having the kind of season Jeter had last year.

Yes, and in the story, it harked back to a convo from 8 years ago!

Eight years ago Jeter was 30. I find it hard to believe he only expected to hang on until age 40. He will be 39 this year and he still contends for batting titles. There is also the MVP award that has eluded him so far.

Testosterone is a hell of a drug.

Jeter's physique has not changed since he entered the league. He is a true athlete, not a muscle-bound slugger.

Lance Armstrong's physique didn't change either.
