I was listening to this game as I was driving back from my dad's house. It looked like Clemens was cruising to an easy victory, until the bottom of the fifth inning. There were three plays in that inning by the Yankee middle infielders that led to those five runs. Two were errors. There was also an infield hit that went off Jeter's glove. As I've spent a lot of time listening to Yankee games with my dad over the last few weeks, I'm more convinced than ever that the Yankees can't win with the defense they have in the middle of the infield. I don't know how many times I heard, "Slow roller up the middle, through for a base hit."

What's the solution? You certainly don't want to lose Jeter's bat. And I don't think you can move both Jeter and Soriano. I think the best solution would be to find a defensive wizard at SS, and move Jeter to third. Ventura is good, but he's old. It's possible that he could be traded to a contender for such a SS, or a three way deal with Cleveland where the Yankees end up with Vizquel. I really think Jeter's future is at third, not a SS.
