It is all but a certainty that for the first time in 12 years, the New York Yankees will open a season without Derek Jeter at shortstop. Jeter came up too sore to play in a minor league game Sunday morning, a day after having taken four at-bats as the designated hitter in a Triple-A game and running at half-speed to first base. In the words of general manager Brian Cashman, "The reality is beginning to set in." "I don't anticipate him starting the season on the [roster]," Cashman said. "I can read his face, and his face today tells me the reality is starting to sink in that this disabled list situation might be necessary." The Yankees have been preparing for this since Tuesday, when Jeter was scratched from the lineup at the last minute after experiencing stiffness and soreness in his left ankle, which was fractured in a playoff game last October and surgically repaired with screws and a metal plate.

hate to hear this cause jeter is one of the two yankess I like. hope he heals fast and is back on the field soon.
I'm a Cubs fan but don't like to see players like Jeter not playing know what I mean? Tough break for him. The Yankees though? They suck!!!!!!!!!!!
While I make it no secret that I don't like the Yankees, I don't like to see anyone injured. I don't care who he plays for.
