Despite his career-low 2010 season, Yankees manager Joe Girardi says that shortstop Derek Jeter will enter the season batting leadoff for the team. "We signed him to be our shortstop and we signed him to be our leadoff hitter," Girardi said. "He had a couple of rough months last year [but by] September he was back to being Derek, I thought. So I'm not really too concerned about him as our leadoff hitter." In 2010, Jeter posted career lows in batting average (.270) and on-base percentage (.340), hit into a team-high 22 double plays and grounded out at an inordinately high rate.
