New cleanup man

Cleanupguy If we play today at Detroit - and it's a long shot based on this lousy forecast - today's cleanup hitter will be none other than Derek Jeter. "To me, it doesn't make any difference,'' Jeter said.

He's done it before, once: July 10, 1999, vs. the Mets. Jeter went 0-for-4, with an intentional walk. Today, Jeter's being used to break up the Yanks' lefty bats vs. LHP Nate Robertson.

Joe Girardi's next chance to use Jeter as the No. 4 hitter would come on Thursday, vs. Scott Kazmir - and that's if Alex Rodriguez isn't activated from the DL. A-Rod will get another MRI on his quad tomorrow, and the Yankees will have a better idea when to activate him. They're hoping to activate him by Friday, vs. the Mets.
