[26 to 6]

Absolutely. There is no disagreeing that he's not the greatest shortstop. Still, I refuse to call him a bad shortstop. As for him moving to third instead of A-Rod, I disagree. A-Rod is more talented, has a better arm, and made the transition pretty seamlessly (I personally think he should have won at least 1 gold glove that Eric Chavez got in 04 and 05..in 06 he for whatever reason was HORRIBLE defensively). Also, Jeter is pretty particular about his defensive positions. Years ago, I dont remember where (I'm thinking SI), Jeet gave an interview saying he couldnt play the corners because of how close to the batter he would be and how quickly he would have to react, and wouldn't want to play the OF because he can't jusge fly balls well ( :? ..he sure can judge those pop-ups though). Despite those words so long ago, I agree that he probably would have made a nice center fielder. I also think that in the coming years, with enough hard work and practice, he would be a perfect candidate to slide over to 1B as his range decreases even more. Once Donnie trades in that Dodger Blue for his pinstripes again, I think he could make Jeter a serviceable first baseman. But this is all moot at this point. Fact of the matter is that Jeter is the shortstop for now, and I won't do much complaining about that. I think he's fine..
