Introducing the Derek Jeter Countown to 3000 Tiq Tracker
With a hit yesterday Derek Jeter is now just 19 hits shy of 3000. Now, with the TiqIQ Jeter 3000 tracker, you can track pricing and trends for all Yankees games, along with Jeter’s progression to his milestone. This progression tracker include a projection date for when we believe Jeter will pick up the hit. After his 1-for-3 in Oakland yesterday afternoon, we now project him to reach the milestone on June 18th in Chicago. Prices are down 6% in last week for that game and start @ $74ea. For tickets to that game, as well as all the rest that the Jeter tracker offers, click here.

No player who hits .270 and is lonsig a step defensively at shortstop deserves $18 million a year.Take names completely out of it and just look at production, he’s a $5 to $8 million a year player, at most. Bottom line, he got paid for the sum total of his career and what he’s done for the Yankees over the last 15 years, not for his current ability. Which is why no other team would even come close to the deal he got with the Yankees, they don’t give a rat’s ass what he did over the course of his career because it wasn’t with them. For the other teams it was all about what can you do for me now? and the answer to that question was worth about $5 million a year, not $18 million. Derek Jeter should thank his lucky stars that the MLB salary structure is the most f’ed up in all of pro sports, because God forbid he actually got paid what he was really worth. I doubt his ego could survive living off of 1/3 of $18 million a year
