Jeter told Mark Feinsand of The Daily News that he plans to play SS through 2010 and beyond. "That's the plan," Jeter said. "I haven't really thought about how long I'm playing. I take it one year at a time; I don't sit down and say, 'Well, I hope I'm playing in two-thousand whatever.' It's a tough question, because I haven't really thought about it much."
