Derek Jeter has come to the defense of the 2010 Yankees, who were criticized by co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner on Monday. Steinbrenner said the team spent too much time celebrating their 2009 title and even said some players were "too busy building mansions," a remark widely interpreted as aimed at Jeter, who recently moved into a 30,000-square foot estate in an exclusive section of Tampa. "I don't think my name came out of his mouth," Jeter said. "So it was not directed at me. Plural, I think it was. This was a plural thing." When it was pointed out that he was the only Yankee known to be building "a mansion" last season, Jeter said: "You don't think anyone else here? You're probably wrong, buddy." He did take issue, however, with Steinbrenner's contention that the Yankees lacked the hunger to win last year. "I think every time it seems like you don't win, people say that you don't have the hunger," Jeter said. "We got beat by a team that was better than us in that series, that was the bottom line. I wouldn't say there was a lack of hunger. I just think we didn't play as well. That's why we lost. But any time teams lose you always hear that."
