TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Derek Jeter is focused on the present and not a down 2010 season.The Yankees shortstop is trying to bounce back after hitting .270, which is 44 points below his career average.
"I've always been pretty good in my career in terms of forgetting about previous seasons, whether it was a good season or a bad season," Jeter said Monday. "You have to forget about it and move on."
The 36-year old team captain has been working out onfield for almost a month -- his normal offseason routine -- at the Yankees' minor league complex. Although he spent three days with hitting coach Kevin Long in January, Jeter's pre-spring training process basically remains the same.
"The main thing you always want going into a season, you want to make sure that you're healthy," Jeter said. "You've got to maintain yourself throughout the course of the year, so that's why you work in the offseason."
