After his game ending double play tonight, I figured now was as good a time as any to start this discussion.
Here are his 2010 statistics (coming into tonight's game):
.279/.340/.389, .327 wOBA, 2.1 WAR
He's 36 years old.
If winning is this organizations' top priority, they handle Jeter exactly as they handled Damon last offseason. However I'm not naive, and I know that's not what's going to happen.
If it was up to me, and Jeter wasn't willing to take a 8-10 million dollar AAV over a couple years, I let him walk, and go after both Lee and Crawford.
