Derek Jeter batted .256 with only four home runs in 581 at bats in 2014. His fielding range was more limited and that shouldn’t be hard to replace. But you can’t replace all the great years he gave the Yankees. He had a career .310 average and hit 308 in 158 post-season games. You can’t replace his class.
