Angry Captain?

You would think 3 years for $51 million would make a guy happy, but Derek Jeter was angered about what went on with the Yankees the past few weeks.  He did not like how the negotiations became so public.  I believe he was angered most by GM Brian Cashman telling him if he was not happy with the Yankee's contract offer, to go find another team willing to pay him as much.   

Regardless, Jeter is back at short stop for the next 3 years.  Despite a down year, he is still better than most at the position and the Yankees are not the Yankees without him.  I couldn't imagine Jeter being on another team.  My guess is he will use all the negativity and talk about his age to drive him to have his normal Derek Jeter season next year.  He is a proud player and there is still a lot more game left in that number 2 jersey.
