The Jeter statue is being sketched out as we speak.

[Brandon]

[m0nkey]

Damn, I forgot about minka kelly

The Jeter statue is being sketched out as we speak at Angel Stadium.

 

Fixed.

[fan_since79]

Over/under on how many trips he makes to the disabled list next year: three

[Brent Maguire]

Jeter is gonna hit .260/.330/.380 next year, make 2 DL visits and still somehow manage to start at SS in the All Star Game.

I'm not sure I quite get this.

 

He's a 39 year old "shortstop" who was injured for most of the past season and awful when he was playing. He had a 9.5 million player option.

 

Was it really likely enough that he would turn that down that the Yankees had to thrown in another 2.5 million?

[Jay]

What a feel-good story!

At least the Yankees are willing to give their star a significant bump in pay, unlike Angry Arte and Co!

Stop neglecting the foreign market and signing washed up players in their 30's! Just STOP it!

@@#&&**!!1!

[FabulousFabregas]

We should pay the contact out of respect for Jeter and the Yankees.

[Tank]

if i were talented enough, i'd paint a picture of jetes signing his new contract. alas, 'tis not my strength.

[CaliAngel]

God dammit I can't stand this shit!

 

Even when the Yankees aren't winning Major League Baseball finds a way to showcase the Yankees by shoving the players down our freakin' throats! Stop it already!

[2002_halos_II]

Old bones. Took K Morales 2 years to recover and he's younger.

 

 

Jeter retires a Yankee in 2014.

How are they shoving it down our throats?

[CaliAngel]

Mariano Rivera day across every stadium in the league is not shoving the players down our throats?

 

I would assume if Jeter announces his retirement that same will go for him.

 

Didn't know m0nkey was a Yankee apologist...

Indians re-signed 43 year old jason giambi yesterday.

DAMN IT CLEVELAND! No one cares!!

[2002_halos_II]

I think Giambi  got a minor league deal with ST invite?

Jeter signing has nothing to do with it.

 

Read my post.

 

Just as others have stated in this thread, there's going to be a celebration tour and Jeter will be commended and applauded throughout every stadium in the league following the announcement of his retirement. That is shoving it down our throats. Just like they did with Mariano last season, its like they couldn't give out enough trophys or take enough pictures or have enough celebrations. Thank god the Yanks didn't make the playoffs, it would have gone on all October.

 

The league and all the teams celebrating the Yankees and their "all around class act" players can't end quick enough.

With American ss's the way they are..that probably will be good enough to start.

Yes, it was a minor league deal.

 

Guess that Erick Aybar needs to start looking for another number to wear after MLB makes every team retire #2 when Derek Jeter hangs it up.

Jeter deserves a retirement tour. He has been a model ballplayer and consistent, public figure for the sport to relay on in the midst of scandal since the 90s labor dispute.

Jeter has earned my respect.

And he broke the professional sports record for scoring, passing wilt chamberlin a few years back.

I can't wait for Albert Pujols' retirement tour. Of course, I may be dead by then.
