This has been discussed around the Internets lately. Derek Jeter, the beloved, gritty, full of intangibles and heart captain, is going to need a new contract after the season is over. According to Cot's, Jeter made $21 million this season. But in his contract year, he declined mightily. His batting line, after last night's outstanding 1-for-7 performance, stands as this: .260/.326/.366 His OPS+ is 91, the lowest of his career. His WAR is .8, also by far the lowest of his career. UZR has his defense in the toilet, as usual. He's obviously declining as a hitter, and was always overrated as a defender. If he weren't Jeter, he wouldn't get anymore than a few million on the open market. But he's The Captain. The Yanks wouldn't let him leave the Bronx. What kind of contract does he get this offseason?
