Andrew Marchand of ESPN put out a story about Derek Jeter's return and it worries me. This whole Jeter recovery is a roller coaster ride full of emotions, or, a cock tease if you will. We think he's going to come back... he increases his workload and he's doing well. Then, he's suddenly not. Needless to say, I'm getting concerned. Don't know what I mean? read this...
Giardi said of the Jeter situation, "Sometimes you can take too many ground balls... They talked about lessening that load just because he was taking so many. Derek is such a creature of habit. To get him to break a cycle sometimes is difficult. He is going to want to do as much as he can as soon as he can, so we are just trying to make sure we don't go too fast. But there was no setback."
I'm sorry... I've heard the expression "practice makes perfect." So now what... practice suddenly is bad for you Joe?
I just doubt at this point that May 1st is out of the question for Jeter. I mean, what gives? I know it's an ankle, but I'd rather they don't give me a timeline, then, when he comes back it's like a nice surprise or something.
Look, if we can get to the bottom of this Jeter stuff, of course you will be the first to know. Until then, just keep checking back here at BYB for updates. Also, be sure to vote in our poll on the BYB homepage, "Who do you want as the Yankees lead off guy?" Ichiro Suzuki or Brett Gardner. Vote!
