Also, the guy who filled in for Jeter the first month of last season was a kid named Erick Almonte. He put up decent numbers, enough to make you think he could be a solid major leaguer in a couple of years, but nothing to make you think he's a potential superstar. He probably has as good a chance as anyone at the Yanks' second base slot, although they might have soured on converting SS's to 2b's.
