February 24, 20206 yr [MEDIA=twitter]1231985988865527811[/MEDIA] Is this the best quote Jeter has had yet since coming here? Basically said he knows nobody really cares about a rebuild until the wins come in and that's very true. Fans like us can experience and even enjoy the steps along the way but ultimately the wins still need to come to prove success.
February 24, 20206 yr I think they kind of knew this though. But they improve the other aspects so that when the team is winning, it's more enjoyable.

Yea they knew what they were doing but Jeter's words today are more in line with the thinking of the general public so saying what he said sounds a lot better than if he once again said "Well we're gonna win eventually but it takes patience and hey did you notice that our farm system is improving!?" As true as that is, it's not what the general public cares about even though it is a crucial part of creating that winner that the people want. It's like the people only care about the result and don't wanna hear about the process even though the process is crucial to the result.

This message will resonate better with people. But they can talk all they want, until they win, nothing else matters much, and that's basically what he's getting at. He's getting more used to the role and what to say as he's gotten more comfortable and informed, which is good.

I like how he basically pleased everyone with yesterday's comments, both die hard fans and the casual fans and general public.
February 25, 20206 yr Author Jeter has gotten better at this. I think some people were too hard on him at first, as if it was supposed to be a seamless transition from player to owner. As a player, he famously avoided speaking to the media. So, it is no shock that he wasn't great at it.
February 25, 20206 yr https://www.mlb.com/news/marlins-2020-season-preview Ignore the Frisaro part, but there was a good Jeter interview video with Greg Amsinger and Mark DeRosa on there.
