Yankees general manager Brian Cashman says that captain Derek Jeter is still an "above-average shortstop." Cashman also doesn't believe Jeter's offensive production "is going to make or break" the team. The executive made the comment on Tuesday afternoon after being asked what Jeter's value is to the Yankees on ESPN 1050's "Ruocco and Lundberg." Jeter had been written off after batting .219 and getting just one extra-base hit in his first 16 games. The 36-year-old veteran has hit .339 in his last 14 games. "I think he's an above-average shortstop in major league baseball," Cashman said. "He's not the same player he used to be, and how many people are when they start to get older? But I think he's a championship-caliber contributor and an above-average shortstop, and that's more than enough. We have other guys on offense that are charged with leading the way. Derek has always been a table setter, but Derek's offense isn't gonna make or break us. That's gonna come from other guys in the lineup that are expected to do more."
