This time Derek Jeter wasn't blindsided by the words spilling out of Alex Rodriguez's mouth.

A year ago, Jeter didn't know Rodriguez was going to talk about their faded friendship when spring training opened. Yesterday, Jeter said he knew about Rodriguez's prediction Thursday that Jeter would have a season worthy of an AL MVP award.
"He mentioned it to me when we were out at lunch the other day," Jeter said. "We were talking about different workout programs. I don't really think about it. The bottom line is to win."
The news that Jeter and Rodriguez had lunch, believed to be at P.F. Chang's before Wednesday's first full-squad workout, surprised those who believe the relationship between the superstars is as cold as ice.

"You all assume things you shouldn't assume," Jeter said when asked about the lunch being something of a surprise. "I have lunch with a lot of people." When asked about the lunch, Rodriguez said, "Where did you get that [information] from?" Told Jeter voluntarily offered it, Rodriguez grinned. A YankeesNew York Yankees official said the relationship is "getting better, and that is good for the team."

I never doubted for one minute these two would blow up. And I agree with A-rod, I see a great season coming from Derek Jeter this year.

Some people are saying that A-Rod was being a phony about it. They won't give A-Rod a break. He tries to be friendly with some one and he takes heat for it.

Derek Jeter will never be as good as he was. He's still good but not as explosive as he used to be.

Huh? Did you even bother to check his batting average from last season? Who cares about his explosiveness (he was never a power hitter to begin with) the guy is the leader and continues to be a great asset to the Yankee organization with his bat and his leadership.

That is a load of crap. Jeter is still as good as he used to be. And it is common knowledge that Arod and he are good friends off the field. Their families hang out together all the time! Get your facts straight!
