My bias against the Yankees would initially have me leaning towards taking Howard. Then I'd probably take Teixeira just to "prove" I'm not prejudiced. Either way would be another stone in the Road of Regret.Only the madman is absolutely sure. -Robert Anton Wilson, novelist (1932-2007)

Man, the Yanks without Mo and Jeter? Times they are a changing.
Too bad he wasn't able to get an on-field send-off like Rivera.
As a Yankee dis-liker, this makes it a little bit easier to keep rooting against them. He and Mo were two of the classiest ever to play the game.

Originally posted by eldiablo505One of the very best shortstops to ever play the game. Tough to put anyone above Honus Wagner but Jeter is right in the group below that, depending of course on how you prefer to deal with multi-positional guys like Ernie Banks and A-Rod. I think an easy case can be made that Jeter's a top 5 all time shortstop. Maybe even top 3, again depending on your criteria.
