    it has long been known by anyone who watches baseball, that jeter has no range. he passes on a lot of tries, probably to keep his errors down. just look at any other real shorstop in the league. Jeter has always been a "vanity" player at shortstop. a showhorse, not a workhorse. hate to rain on your one-man parade, thunderstorm.
