So you think he'll get his 30+ million a year?
Nah...I think it'll be somewhere between $23-$25 million per season. We all know the Yankees don't care about where their money goes. Jeter has earned it through this contract.

He's about the 9th best SS in MLB in offense right now (amongst those with 350 PA or more). He's in the bottom quartile defensively. If he gets more than $10M then NYY is just giving him a lifetime achievement award because they don't care about the money. $20M+ would be ludicrous.

You can't go by that. You can't sign players according to their contract season. The Yankees did that with AJ...tell me how that worked out. The Yankees did that with Pavano. Tell me how that worked out. Some can say this is the start of a decline. Others can say it's simply a bad season. I know it's done all the time, but it's just a stupid way to go. Will Cliff Lee be getting money based on what he's doing in Texas, or what he did in his Cy Young season in Cleveland and what he did in Philly? If you go by his pre-Rangers numbers, than you can't just take this 1 season of Jeter's into account when signing him in the offseason.

And that's exactly what they're doing. Don't blame Jeter for his contract ending 1 year late. If last season was his contract year, everyone would agree that he should get $25 million.

Oliver Perez
Another name that comes to mind when showing how bad of an idea it is to give a player a contract based solely on their contract year.
You can not downgrade Jeter's contract because of one season.

People said that in 2008. 2009 he had his best defensive season in 5+ years and he hit .334 last season. He had a below average 2008 for his status and he came back and showed everyone he wasn't declining.

I could be way off. But then it goes back to the discussion...you have A-Rod...how many more players do you want to have to make more money than Jeter? He did an outstanding job during his last contact. He's older, yes, but he's been productive every season but this on.

Hanley Ramirez has a 6 year, $70M contract ($11.67M per year). He's put up much better numbers every year since his rookie year than Jeter, and he's not 36 years old, nor Edward Scissorhands in the field.
Someone please explain to me how Derek Jeter warrants a contract worth twice the amount that a 26 year-old Hanley Ramirez is being paid.
Jeter has had a great career, but at 36 years of age you can definitely be worried about his offensive slippage and base the next contract mainly on his last season. Jeter cannot play defense - if he doesn't totally rake he hurts the team. He is a Hall of Famer. But he's not a $20M player any more.

I'm well aware that he is the face of the organization, and a player they will likely never get rid of, but when is the last time this guy stepped up and made a great offensive play in the clutch?
