35-year-olds don’t get better -- they have very good seasons. 2009 was a very good season for Jeter. Yes, he could have another very good season, but it is far more likely that his 2010 numbers more closely resemble his 2007 and 2008 seasons, which are still pretty darn good. If someone is willing to pay for his 2009 totals, be more more than happy to let them. .320-100-13-60-20 in 600 AB

Positives / Upside	Jeter's incredible 2009, one of the best seasons of his career, quieted a lot of critics who claimed that he was start to deteriorate. Jeter proved that even into his mid-30s he is capable of posting huge numbers and still an elite option at SS. .330-105-15-65-25 in 620 AB
Negatives / Downside	He isn't getting any younger, and, despite his great 2009, has reached the age when most players start to rapidly decline. 2009 was the last great season we will see from Jeter. His home run and stolen base totals are due for a decline. .305-90-10-55-15 in 550 AB
Recommendation	Only at a discount
Draft Position	44
