Player Profile #117: Derek Jeter | SS | NYY

Via Baseball Professor  |  January 27, 2012
Derek Jeter‘s home run power was the subject of one of our top 100 offseason questions posts. Could he get the power back? Our conclusion was that he could get back to being a 10-homer guy like he was in 2010, but it would take some kind of special, throwback effort for him to really exceed that total.

Is Raul Ibanez A Better DH Option For the New York Yankees Than Johnny Damon?

Via Rant Sports  |  January 27, 2012
Last week I talked about how I am not a fan of the New York Yankees signing Johnny Damon to fill their DH vacancy.  Nothing has changed with my feelings on that issue, but new possibilities have emerged since then. Raul Ibanez is among them as he and the New York Yankees apparently have mutual interest.  Do I like the idea of Raul Ibanez in the Bronx any more than Johnny Damon...
