A Rod, is leading the league in homeruns this season with 26HR. Rodriguez is the MVP, this season. The Yankees, could be A Rod's team, only if he can keep this pace in all the stats.







These are the stats for both A Rod and Jeter. Now the team, the fans, the media, New York City, and the whole league loves Jeter. Jeter plays short stop, however, A Rod is a great at Short Stop. When A Rod went to the Yankees, Jeter was the Short Stop, already, so they placed A Rod at third base, I feel that A Rod should be at short stop. But A Rod being a team player said he would play 3B.
Jeter is a great Captain for the Yankees, however, A Rod is slowly becoming a leader to the Yankees by his great play.
Alex Rodriguez is not looking to out due Jeter, neither is Jeter trying to out due A Rod. They work great together, but in the long run the fans of New York will always love Jeter. And the fans loves and hates A Rod, it depends if A Rod hits at the plate or strikes out. So over this season A Rod is showing everyone that he is worth every penny of the 27,708,525 per yr.
If the Yankees wins another tittle this season, it be from hard work from the whole team. But it will also be from A Rod's play at the bat. A Rod is can make make the difference in the season and the playoffs. The Yankees win when A Rod is playing well like A Rod. But if Alex is off that day the Yankees loose. Nuff Said, the Yankees is now A Rod's team. Sorry Jeter, you are still great. But A Rod is the better.
