Jeter cleared to resume baseball activities
ByAccording to the AP, Derek Jeter has been cleared to resume baseball activities as he rehabs from a late-October surgery to repair a fractured left ankle. “I’ve got the okay to start … but I don’t start until next week or the week after, anyway,” said the Cap’n. “In terms of baseball activity, I’m right where I need to be.”
Last we heard, the 38-year-old Jeter had been riding a bike and running in a pool. An Opening Day return seems likely but is far from guaranteed at this point. A setback is always possible, as we saw when Andy Pettitte pushed himself too hard recovering from his leg fracture at midseason. The most important thing is that Jeter is progressing well and he’s right where he needs to be. Very good news.

Yay!
Hope for the best…
How about giving gift baskets away?? Is he allowed to do that? is he? IS HE!?

Napoli for 5.Why not give him 6 million and make him a DH backup catcher.
It’s 5, with up to $13m in incentives. I imagine the incentives are games played/ABs. So if he’s totally healthy, he’s over $10m. If his hip is bad, he could miss the majority of the season… for $5m.
He had agreed to $39M and had to settle for $5m guaranteed. What do you think that physical looked like? I really doubt he can catch.
Would I have taken him as a DH? Absolutely.
But I have never heard of a physical that cost a player so much money.
great news!
On a tangent, I read up on running in a pool. I really want to try it on one of those fancy machines the Olympians have.
Here’s to Derek… Not being lazy and resuming baseball activities when we find it convenient and timely, unlike that piece of human garbage A Rod… Sorry, A RIODZ… Amirite?
- dalelama’s representative for the night…
This answers my question from yesterday. If DJ can resume baseball activities at his normal time this offseason then it is entirely possible that this ankle injury has little or no affect on his 2013 campaign.
Good luck Cap’n!
