I was thinking the other night about the various fates of A-Rod, Nomar and Jeter.  Baseball Prospectus called them the "Holy Trinity" for a while, plus Tejada who was like #3a (I don't know if they still do; I'll pay for the book but not the site).  At the time, I think the consensus was that Jeter would have been the first one to move away from the position, with Nomar and A-Rod surviving longer because of their arm strength, despite Jeter's athleticism.  

So, if someone would have told me between the 2000 and 2002 seasons that by now, Jeter would be the only member left playing Short, I would have told them they were full of crap.  

(Not including Tejada for the sake of argument, and the fact that the was a later bloomer)

Then again, I probably would have said the same thing if that person told me that the Red Sox would have won two World Series in four years, and that my Giants were five outs away from doing it and lost it.

Anyhow, I know it's a random thought, but I got a kick out of thinking about it...

Cheers.
