Jeter headed to OF?

Well, isn't this a bombshell. Yankees GM Brian Cashman, apparently not smarting over commenting on Hank Steinbrenner's free agent meddling, said he thinks legendary SS Derek Jeter will move to the outfield before his four-year contract is up.

Well, given his range, OF is the only OF option. And, even then, that can't be FT. What Cashman is politely trying to avoid saying is that Jeter will likely be DHing before that contract runs out.

Or, maybe he isn't. If Cashman seriously thinks Jeter can play center, not left, Hank Steinbrenner needs to talk to him ASAP.

"I like corner outfielders and corner infielders who have power, so for me, if he's ever gonna move, it's probably gonna be a Robin Yount situation. But we don't have to deal with it at this point," Cashman said Tuesday. "We'll deal with it when we have to."

Uhh, Yount was a few years younger when he moved from SS to CF,and he had more range than Jeter in the first place.
