This article on Yahoo! Sports tells us, "A minor injury to Derek Jeter is a wake-up call to the Yankees, who must entertain the possibility of moving A-Rod to shortstop."
If you read through it, the author lays out a case stating that Jeter has been awful at short for a few years now and A-Rod was once one of the best shortstops in the game. In fact, it was greatly debated when the Yankees got Rodriguez whether or nor Jeter should move to third base to accommodate his glove.
If it was a tabletop game, I'd move Jeter to first and try A-Rod at short. The Yankees don't have a star at first base, and Jeter would certainly give them one. There are a bunch of third basemen available in trade, to include Joe Crede and Brandon Inge. certainly the Yankees could afford to pony up what it would take to get one of those guys if they didn't have someone else.
Since it isn't a tabletop game, I guess we'll see what happens. I suspect that the Yankees will find a fill-in for Jeter and keep A-Rod at third.
