Giradi's hard-on for Sergio Mitre continues. He's back for another year for $900,000. $200,000 could be made in incentives

Why would the yankees want him back at all? You said hes a below average ss and a bad hitter. Why even resign him?Originally Posted by SCuse7

That jerk? The difference is A-Rod was in his prime and a mvp type player.
Jeter is a below average shortstop and a average hitter now. Why would we make him the second highest player in baseball. Did you see how he hit last year?
The yankees are not bringing him back because of his on field potential FFS.
You guys freaking kill me.

[h1]Maybe Jeter Should Leave and Expand His Horizons[/h1][h6]By GEORGE VECSEY[/h6]
The most ludicrous sight I ever saw in a baseball uniform was Joe DiMaggio wearing the green-and-gold outfit of the Oakland A’s.

Joe DiMaggio was a coach and vice president for theeccentric Oakland Athletics owner Charles O. Finley in 1968 and 1969.

The Yankees let Babe Ruth leave and did not embrace him again until he was dying.
The great Joe D. was a coach and vice president for the eccentric Charles O. Finleyin 1968 and 1969; he had retired after 1951 but needed two years inuniform to qualify for the highest level of pension — a concern for aman who never made more than $100,000 per season.
Derek Jeter,on the other hand, does not have to worry about his pension, not after15 years of what he has been making. Jeter also does not have to worryso much about style, since major league uniforms have been growing moredignified in recent years.
Maybe it was the era. I blame disco. Or Rupert Murdoch. But baseball uniforms were pretty grotesque for a generation. Who will ever forget Steve Garvey looking like a burrito in the Padres’ gauche brown-and-gold garb, or Pete Rose looking like a doorman in the Expos’ blue-white-and-red ensembles?The long and winding road of free agency can do weird things to aperson’s image. Still, Jeter has every right to consider walking awayfrom the Yankees.
It might even be good for his personal growth — help him socialize with new chums in a new sandbox.
Jeter does not want to make a fool of himself by joining the wrong teamin the wrong uniform at the wrong time, but where is it written that anathlete must finish his career where he started? Is Jeter so limitedthat he must attach himself to the Yankees for life, like a livingmascot?
The real problem for Jeter is that no other team is likely to offer more than three years at $15 million per year, which is apparently being offered by the Yankees, with the obvious likelihood of some upgrade.
Few teams need an expensive shortstop heading toward 37. The Red Sox, for example, have been more or less economizing at that position since they scuttled Nomar Garciaparra, and they have done all right.
Still, if Jeter feels undervalued, this is what free agency is for — togive him the chance to find out what life is like somewhere else, formore money, if he can find it.
It is not at all clear to me that Jeter’s life would be ruined if heplayed somewhere else. Players move on. I learned that late in the 1982season when it became apparent that Garvey was playing his final games for the Dodgers. I thought it was disloyal and short-sighted of the Dodgers to let go of such a fixture, but my friend Al Campanis, the general manager at the time, set me straight.

Alfredo Aceves and Dustin Moseley were both non-tendered by the Yankees today.
I'm gonna miss seeing "Ace" rocking the #91 because he was a Dennis Rodman fan.
Aceves was money in 2009.
