Derek Jeter: He continues to set the bar

Hehe, I just read this at Yahoo.  Enjoy!
Jeter continues to set the bar for consistency.

"If Jeter is weary of the effort after these years, it is not reflected in his demeanor, nor in his game. He toiled all winter on expanding his range at shortstop and had barely wiped the sweat from his forehead when a handful of techies at Penn announced he was the worst defensive shortstop in baseball.

Maybe it's true, but I doubt it. I do know that if there was a roller to the left of the mound, I'd want Jeter coming in from shortstop. If there was a flare dying fast in left field, I'd want Jeter going out from shortstop. And if there was a four-hopper straight at the shortstop to end a game I had to win, I'd want Jeter and his alleged cement-shoed range standing right there."

lol
What a typical Jeter statement.

By the way, Jeter sets the bar for consistency? No, no he does not. He's not wildly inconsistent, but he's not the model of consistency, either.

Jeter
I notice that the writer said "if there was a roller to the left of the mound," which is funny, because Jeter has no range to his right...
