Five shortstops who could replace Derek Jeter

(这篇列出作者所提的5位人选 前面一串话可以点连结看全文 反正参考就好XD)
1. Stephen Drew
He was terrible this year. To sign him, you would have to believe his agent,
Scott Boras, will reverse his history and take a quick deal for, say, one
year at $3 million so Drew can re-establish himself. You would have to
believe his lack of spring training the last three years (ankle, concussion,
holding out against the ramifications of the qualifying offer) destroyed his
offensive game this year.
Can he be a .700-OPS shortstop with 15 homers? Yankees hitting coach Kevin
Long thought so. Boston third-base coach Brian Butterfield, an infield guru,
said Drew should have won the Gold Glove in 2013 because he excels at the
difficult combo of aggressively attacking grounders while not being careless
with the ball.
2. Didi Gregorius
The Diamondbacks’ better young stock is Chris Owings. But Arizona knows that
and apparently wants to build with him. The consensus is Gregorius will be a
state-of-the-art defender with room to grow offensively — his lefty swing
might even produce power at Yankee Stadium. Does offering Ian Clarkin and
Adam Warren get it done?
The other club in a similar situation is Seattle. Does it believe in Chris
Taylor enough to make available Brad Miller, who has yet to hit to
projections, but might run into a bunch of homers as a lefty with some heft
at the Stadium? The problem is the Yanks do not have the ready-now bats the
Mariners crave in return.
3. Jose Iglesias
He missed this season with stress fractures in his shins. The prognosis is
good for his return. Do the Tigers believe enough in Eugenio Suarez, who
helped replace Iglesias this year, and/or Hernan Perez, who was good at
Triple-A, to make the defensive genius of Iglesias available?
4. Jimmy Rollins
Yes, age is a Yankees problem. Rollins turns 36 in November. But it is a
one-year commitment. He has $11 million left on his contract. He did hit 17
homers with 28 steals and a .717 OPS while remaining a strong defender and —
really — has there ever been a player you can be more sure can handle New
York? Even in rebuild mode, the Phils have had trouble emotionally divorcing
from their icons. They could not expect a huge haul back considering Rollins’
age, salary and decline. But it is time to get something rather than
nothing: Does David Phelps plus Ramon Flores or Danny Burawa get it done?
5. Alexei Ramirez
Three years younger than Rollins, Ramirez just had a season (15 homers, 21
steals, .713 OPS) quite similar to that of Rollins. He also is making $11
million next year — with an $11 million 2016 option (or $1 million buyout).
He is extremely durable (exactly 158 games played in each of the last four
years, and 156 the season before that). The White Sox like J.R. Murphy. Can
he front a trade for Ramirez?
