Kevin Youkilis has been impressed with the kind of person and teammate Derek Jeter is during his time on the United States' WBC team. ?Being around him, you can see why the Yankees are successful,? Youkilis said. ?Having that type of guy on your team is awesome. He?s a leader. He does everything right off the field. You get a really good sense of why he embodies the Yankees way. He?s an icon in New York.? ?He can play,? Jeter said of Youkilis. ?He works extremely hard. He can hit. He can play defense. The difference now is having the opportunity to get to know him over an extended period. I?m getting to know him personally. I always respected him as a player, but now I have more respect for him as a person, too.?
