The Yankees have had their own fair share of Hall-of-Famers, and they always will. Another man that will join this famous list, is Derek Jeter. Jeter has played with the Yankees his entire career. He has the record for numerous batting statistics and has always been a fan favorite. In his prime, he was one of the best short-stops in the league. He is no longer in his prime and he is not at all the same force. He is at best an average player now, but because he wears the pin-stripes, he is still considered great.
Jeter and the Yankees were just recently able to agree on a three year contract worth 15-17 million dollars per year(which he was somewhat mad with). He will continue to be a "great" Yankee player, for at least the next three years and it will be interesting to see how things play out. He will more than likely end his career with most of the Yankees all-time best awards and with a good extra sum of money in his pocket. Derek has always been a great player and I believe he will continue this all the way up to his retirement.
