not interesting. never gonna happen.

You mean like how 2 years ago there was no way A-Rod would be willing to play 3rd base?
I think Jeter would be the more likely one to be asked to move to CF. He respects Torre enough to say yes if asked.

though it was a surprise, arod's move was more likely, because he had to get out of texas. and there's noone he'd yield the SS spot for other than jeter.
before they make a move like that, you gotta consider the benefits of what that will accomplish. one : whoever moves to CF has got to be above and beyond replacement level at CF. i don't doubt that jeter and arod can be above average, but they are that much more valuable at their current/natural positions. second, whoever replaces the SS or 3B spot has got be above and beyond replacement level because they have to match that of jeter and arod. that's hard to do, since you are replacing the yankee captain or, alternatively, a two-time mvp. good luck to whoever gets that job (Eric Duncan?).
