New York Yankees Derek Jeter is busy trying to recover from the broken ankle he suffered in the 2012 MLB Playoffs. Unfortunately for him he’s also getting bombarded with questions about Alex Rodriguez and his PED usage. Jeter addressed the issue today and the writers must not have liked the response they received. “I don’t comment on anyone until they speak first,” Jeter said Monday. “Let him address his situation before I comment on it. Let him speak first and then we’ll talk about that.” (LoHud Yankees Blog) While that’s not a response they liked, I love it. It’s your typical Jeter, if you want information on a guy go talk to that guy. I love it even more because Jeter’s got something more important on his plate, recovering from that injury. Jete plans to start running later this month and is pretty sure he’ll be ready for Opening Day. “Everything’s been good,” Jeter said. “Everything’s right where it needs to be. The goal is April 1st, that’s when we start our season

Yankees reportedly trying to protect Alex Rodriguez from paparazzi
