Derek Jeter is the Yankees shortstop this season for certain. Yanks general manager Brian Cashman said so in the New York papers today.
But he did add that he could envision Jeter finishing his new four year deal in centerfield.
Makes sense. While he's lost a step rangewise at short, he still has excellent speed and agility and would probably make a smooth coversion to centerfield at some point. He keeps himself in shape and I could see him making the SS to CF move as Robin Yount did. Although, Yount was younger (29) than Jeter when he made the move.
When Jeter gets to 4,000 hits, he'll almost definitely be playing centerfield.
