On Jeter Batting Leadoff

Finally, the Yankees have figured out that Derek Jeter is their leadoff hitter. This is something that should have happened a decade ago, but Dear Leader Torre never could see it because Jeter didn't fit precisely into his mold of what a leadoff hitter should be. Apparently, Torre did not like guys with good OBP numbers and pretty good speed as his leadoff man, he wanted people who couldn't get on base, but boy if they did get on base they would have been great. Thankfully, Torre is gone, and the more we see of life after Torre the more I wonder how many more games the Yankees would have won without that tea sipping fool.
