Jeter getting a day off

The LoHud Yankees Blog | Journal News — Still no lineup from the Yankees, but Joe Girardi just announced that Derek Jeter will have a routine day off. Ramiro Pena will start at shortstop, Eduardo Nunez at third. Girardi has yet to post a full lineup because he has not checked with Nick Swisher to find out whether Swisher can play.

Raissman: Talking heads latch on to Jeter

New York Daily News — The saga of Derek Jeter is now a full-blown soap opera, one that will last through the postseason and as long as it takes to get his new contract done. Jeter's upcoming exercise in commerce will make Darrelle Revis' holdout look like a guy trying to get a discount on a used car.

Madden: Witness the demise of A's 'Moneyball'

New York Daily News — For four blissful though sultry games this week, the Yankees were able to forget about Andy Pettitte's groaning groin and their October pitching uncertainties while camouflaging Derek Jeter's career-worst batting funk - all thanks to the Oakland A's, one sorry excuse for a major league baseball team.

Unthinkable or thinkable: A Joe Torre-Derek Jeter reunion in Los Angeles?

Dodgers Thoughts | ESPN Los Angeles — This is not a rumor I'm starting.  There is no evidence that this is being discussed or will ever happen. Everything I've heard is that the Yankee will finish his career as a Yankee. But that sort of talk has been wrong in the past. And so I submit to you that there are far more outlandish possibilities than Joe Torre returning as Dodger manager next season and successfully recommending that the team sign free agent infielder Derek Jeter.

Girardi: Jeter not going anywhere

Yankees Blog | ESPN New York — Joe Girardi was asked before the game if he was considering moving Derek Jeter, hitting nearly 50 points below his career average of .314 and mired in an 0-for-12 slump, down in the Yankee  lineup.     "I don't really see it happening,'' Girardi said. "We still see him as a top of the order guy.''      And while the manager acknowledged the dropoff in Jeter's batting average "is significant,'' he didn;t think his performance warranted a swing makeover by hitting coach Kevin Long, a la Curtis Granderson. "It's not like he's hitting .230 or something,'' Girardi said. "I know we’re used to ...

Harper: Yankees, Jeter face dilemma on deal

New York Daily News — All along it's been assumed completing a new deal with Derek Jeter would be a relatively smooth process, because the brass understands what Jeter has meant to the franchise. But what if he finishes out the season hitting, say, only .270 with a .335 on-base percentage?

Yankees coach: Struggling Jeter doesn’t need extra work

New York Post — It helped get struggling Curtis Granderson on track. Why not try it with Derek Jeter? The Yankees captain is wallowing in one of the worst slumps, and seasons, of his career. But hitting coach Kevin Long isn't convinced the shortstop needs the same type of special attention he gave...

  • Swisher remains day-to-day The LoHud Yankees Blog | Journal News Nick Swisher said he was available to pinch hit this afternoon, but his stiff left knee is still keeping him from moving 100 percent. “I want to be able to run full speed,” he said. “Even if I can get it up there to 80 or 90 (percent), I’ll be happy with that.” Joe Girardi waited to [...]
