Derek Jeter will participate in his 14th Opening Day as a member of the Yankees on Monday, and for the first time in his career there are questions about his future.

Jeter, who will be 35 in June, has been criticized for his defense in recent seasons.

"The only thing I try to think about is what to do to help the team win," Jeter said in response to the criticism. "Anything deeper than that is (a reporter's) job. You get caught up in thinking about too many things, that's when you get in trouble."
