Way too soon to even guess! The Yankee organization was always hesitant to pick a new captain anyway ( remember . . . when previous captain Don Mattingly retired in 1995, it would be eight years before they named Jeter captain! ) Not only do they look for certain types of leadership abilities ( on and off the field ) but also someone they feel will be with the club for a long time! With trades and free-agency as it is now, the days of players beginning and ending their careers with the same team are pretty much over. I think it will be quite a while before the Yankees name a new captain . . .
