Anyone just see Jeter get hurt? He tried to go from 1st to 3rd on a bunt. The 3rd baseman was out of position so the catcher had to cover 3rd. He got there just as Jeter slid in and he crashed right into the catcher's shin guard. He couldn't get up for about 15 minutes...looks like a broken collarbone or separated right shoulder to me. This could be a huge blow to the Yanks chances if he's out for a few months.

I didn't see it. That is a tough loss for the Yanks of he's out for alot time.

ESPN is reporting he has a separated shoulder. That usually takes at least 2-4 months to rehab. :eek:

I feel sorry for him. I know the Yankees will miss him, who will be their Shortstop, Enrique Wilson?

Yep, it will be Wilson. Knowing George Steinbrenner though, he will go buy another shortstop while Jeter is out.

You all sure it isn't just dislocated? That was the report I heard. That could be popped in and he would only miss about 7-10 days.

I thought that too. But maybe Herd-Fan was right and he's not out as long as we thought.

I heard that last night too (about it being a week or two), but it looks like it could be a lot worse now...

Quote:The New York Yankees are bracing for what general manager Brian Cashman called a best-case scenario of six weeks without shortstop Derek Jeter.

Cashman told ESPNEWS on Tuesday that the Yankees won't know until after Thursday's MRI if Jeter's dislocated shoulder will keep him out longer. He was injured in New York's season opener Monday night after a violent collision at third base with Toronto catcher Ken Huckaby.

Yeah i was just coming to tell y'all that. Huge loss for the Bronx Bombers.

Who could replace him?

Nobody. Unless George could find a way to get A-Rod. :D

I hear A-Rod is more of a partier than DJ. Next...? :D

What about Nomar?

Tough break for the Yankees.....no pun intended :D

The A's owner has already said that he can't afford Tajada next year. He is a top tier shortstop and I think it will be interesting to see if George tries to trade for him.

Maybe. I just don't know if they'd want to trade for him since Jeter will be back in a few months. Then again, this is Steinbrenner.

Hell...give Jeter to CLEVELAND!!

We'll move him to 3rd/2nd base...since Omar is holding up okay at short DEFENSIVELY....though he did very well at batting last season.

If Omar is thinkin bout retiring though....move Jeter on in here.

Ace pitcher C.C. Sabathia is 22 years old...and is 3rd on the seniority list.

OUCH.

Cleveland GM wanted a young team so he got it I guess :stupid:

I just read on yahoo that George may try for Orlando Cabrera. Omar Vizquel is a 10 and 5 guy and has stated the only team he would go to is Seattle, where he began his career. Tejada was listed as a long shot.

They wouldn't trade for a big time player like Tejada. Too much to have sitting on the bench when Jeter gets back. I'd look for a defensive shortstop like the Braves did in Ray Sanchez when Furcal injured his shoulder. Maybe Bordick or Ordonez?

Although, Infante has been hitting the cover off the ball.
