Jeter... snort. The way I see it is that Jeter and the Jeter image-makers have been cynically trying to position him as the Yankees' David Wright since before there was a David Wright and that's my story and I'm sticking to it. The legend all goes back to a homerun that wasn't a homerun, and we were all expected to pretend it was, and the emperor had great new clothes, just because. Because the health of the Republic depended on him being real, or something. But it didn't and he isn't. And I'm still waiting for that call to be overturned. David Wright's main flaw seems to be that he's touch too self-consciously accommodating. As somebody who he's accommodated, I can sure live with that. And we did not think, "big deal, he can afford it." Good point.

A quick check of three players --- Jeremy Hefner, Eric Young, Matt Kemp --- and they all have 2013 splits and game logs.
-
He sure seemed to make the team as rotation filler, and most likely to be holding a spot until Wheeler arrived. Not so fast. Keeps this up, he'll be the new Rick Reed.
-
Mets remained tied with the Cubs eleven off the Wild Card, 2 1/2 games behind the World Series champion San Francisco Giants. �Usted tiene que creer!
-
I see wanting to get a positive with Lyon in a low-leverage spot here, but I wanted some Gonzalez Germen action.
-
Unseeen forces protect that face. No wonder he couldn't get the tag down.
-
One of those All-Stars in the Diamondback dugout needs to discuss tagging with Montero.
-
Nice call, Keith on the tag. Mercy, what a terrible job.
-
Two run single on a shot that DEFINITELY would have been a double-play. Thanks, Kirk Gibson!
-
And he delivers the RBI (on a shot that might have been a DP if the infield was back, depending on the positioning).
-
Let's go, Wets!
-
Unless he walks. Let's see a grand Reck.
-
No way Brown doesn't drive somebody in here.
-
Pollock didn't need to dive there himself.
-
He wasn't diving; he was falling with style. Meanwhile two in scoring position on a wet track.
-
D'backs had a double on a misjudgment by Lagares an inning earleir. Diving catches from Dykstra were almost always faked. He'd reach a ball running and just skip the last step as he caught it to make it look like a dive. Rough inning for Lagares but he's pretty awesome.
-
Alll respect for Laggy, but the scoring convention that calls that a double makes no sense.
-
PoW!! You've been Reck'd!
-
Hefner fighting the Cy Young candidate to a standstill.
-
I "imagine" they're "coached," as all "players" are to some "degree." Whether or not they're coached to use the word "obviously" is not obvious to me.
-
I think part of what I respected about Torre is/was that if he had 18-20 guys he trusted, he didn't let the other guys appear in a heavy leverage situation. Part of what I was trying to say about Terry earlier is that he's taken the longview to the point where he's so trying to work out the salvation of every last man on the roster, that he was willing to lose this weekend in a game started brilliantly by Matt Harvey by putting it in Josh Edgin's hands.
-
I think the faceofthefranchise guys who are obliged to face the media every day are acutely aware that the twin necessities of saying something every day, but saying nothing that's risky, has reduced them to patiently and charminlgy uttering little more than the bleeding obvious.
-
Quint gets a bucketful of hits yesterday while the bats were mostly silent... and he gets rewarded by getting to bat eighth behind Recker But yeah, I salute it also. It'll be fun to see if Young plays second base positioned 50 feet into the outfield.
-
Walt Terrell was no baloney sandwich.
-
You shouldn't feel old. You should feel STUPID... for not teaching him a good slider and raising him abroad where he's protected from the draft.
