This is just a quick nugget from our friend Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe. Apparently he is looking ahead. Hey, I get it, Derek Jeter can't be our shortstop forever...we wrote about it in IS THIS THE BEGINNING OF THE END FOR OUR CAPTAIN?
No, we're not pushing the Captain away, we just are in a reality state... sooner or later Jeet may not be able to man shortstop. As Cafardo stated in his piece (HERE), the White Sox Shortstop Alexi Ramirez would be a great idea for the Yankees: "The Yankees could turn out to be the best fit since they eventually will need a replacement for Derek Jeter, who could wind up DHing a lot next season. The Yankees may have problems making something happen because of their weak farm system."
True, Ramirez is a decent choice. I do wonder though if the Yankees really and truly believe that Eduardo Nunez is the Yankee future shortstop. There is no question that repetition in a position helps a player develop, but I am not as sold on Nunez has many others are. Whatever the case, we shall see.
