| 9th March, 2009 - 9:12 am |  Newsday - Derek Jeter doesn't believe that the Yankees will have an issue playing without Alex Rodriguez at the start of the season.
Rodriguez will be out six to nine weeks after having hip surgery on Monday.
"I don't know the details of the surgery. I'm not a surgeon," Jeter said. "They say it's a labrum or something? I didn't even know there was a labrum in your hip. I don't know the severity of it. But I think it's good for him to go ahead and do what he needs to do."
Missing perhaps the best player in the game will be difficult, but Jeter isn't overly worried.
"We have no choice ... Cody [Ransom] did a good job for us last year when he played," Jeter said. "I'm sure whoever they decide to put at third base while he's out, they're going to do a good job. He is obviously not going to do some of the things Al is capable of doing. There aren't too many people in baseball that can do it. But we have enough guys on our team that we'll be all right."
