Jeter announces retirement after 2014 season. What do you predict?

St. Derek, the First of his Name, will be stepping off the diamond after the 2014 season.

How is it all going to play out?

Final season: magnificent, good, adequate, awful, or injury-plaqued disaster?

Tributes: tasteful, tasteless, overdone (given, really), modest, or the Rivera tour cranked up to 11?

The team: he's just another Yankee, he's Cap'n Jeets one last time, or the season is All Derek All The Time?

The big finish: the Yankees conclude their season on the road, in Boston. Does DJ play those games? Or does he take his final bow at Da Stadium (against mere Baltimore, on a Thursday night)? If the Yanx advance to the postseason, and are at risk of being eliminated on the road, does DJ sit out. insisting he finish on the home lawn? Or soldier on no matter the field?

BQ: when 2015 arrives, Jeter gone, Rodriguez back, does Alex (finally) return to shortstop?

    1. All things, good or bad, come to an end.

    # 2. Hopefully, it will play out without injury.

    # 3. Could be any of your choices, but I'll go with adequate. He is 40 years old. Most shortstops are done long before that age.

    # 4. I'll go with the Rivera choice. How could it NOT be that one?

    # 5. He is Cap'n. Jeets one last time. I hope.

    # 6. He'll play in Boston if physically able and listen to a nice send off by the Boston fans,. I think that they, the Boston fans, are classier than some detractors think.

    # 7. Actually the last question in # 6. He will soldier on. Or is all the above just wishful thing?

    # 8. Alex as SS? Hmmm? Could be?

    I think they're holding their breath right now that they can get 80 games out of this guy. If he is retiring he knows he can't play. Now, they just may really finish 5th, what I've been saying all along can become reality.

    They will try to win a championship for him to ride out into the sunset.
