Fantasy Analysis
Jeter hit his first home run of the season on May 10, so it appears his power stroke is coming back to him as the weather warms up. He's never been a big source of power, but can be good for around 10-15 homers over the course of the season. His run-production, batting average and on-base percentage are what make him such a solid Fantasy shortstop. (Updated 05/17/2008).
